Knittin Mittens
Embossed Leaves Mitts
Originally uploaded by kerner
I started these as socks, but then I decided they were too pretty to wear in my shoes. I knit the palm of the hand in plain stockinette and used the thumb gusset from the Knotty Gloves pattern (free Ravelry download - I made some for my mom from Christmas) and did a tubular cast-off to make the top of the hand look nice.
(I finally resorted to a solid colored yarn after I tried to start socks with two different variegated yarns and both of them kept doing crazy pooling, which drives me insane. I knit because I like to do it and like to wear the stuff I make, and I'm not wearing socks that have ugly blobs of color on them.)
