Pomatomus Fingerless Gloves...

Hi there! I noticed several people were looking for the Pomatomus fingerless gloves pattern - here is the link, from the Winter 2005 issue of Knitty online knitting magazine. It was originally a sock pattern, but others have adapted it to a fingerless glove pattern. One example is here, and another is available in Ravelry as a free download.

The pattern is also available as Nereid Fingerless Gloves.

First Attempt!

This was my attempt at a fingerless mitt. I went a little overboard. It is a very simple knit, however, I spun the yarn myself from the shedding from my Great Pyrenees, Sammie! It is very soft and surprisingly, does not shed!


This is my first attempt at a cable. I think it came out fine, but next time, I think I'll check my gauge first. It is a little large for me!


I raise Shetland Sheep and spin yarn, so I think it appropriate for my next fingerless mitts I will make with my own wool! I'll keep you all posted!

Where is everyone?

Just took a little peak at this blog and no one has posted in a long time!  I get busy in the summer making and selling jewelry, but now that it is cold I started to knit again.  I am making socks right now.  Why don't we all check in and let everyone know what we are doing.

Finally finished

Pomatomus without thumbs in Rowan 4ply merino, started in february, then came summer :-) and lot's of other interesting knitting projects. Very soon I will need to wear them :-( . I really like this yarn it's very soft and the colours are lovely.

On agenda

Bella's Mittens:
Almost done with pair number One! Three more to go ;)


Alice's Mitts:
I have some Mama Llama Yarn (Bom Dia) that looks really similar, I am casting on this weekend.

Ubiquitous Fetching

Just like everyone else...I love Fetching. They are so easy and quick. All the recipients love them as well.

Waffle Mitts

These are Waffle Mitts. I found that they match the Thermis neckwarmers I made last year. Now this is my matching, go-to pattern for the mitts.

Angora Glaistig

My youngest granddaughter fell in love with the pair I made last Fall. These will be her Christmas gift this year. I am having problems finding appropriate buckles and they still need to be assembled. Who knew something so simple could be so hard to find.

FingerlessMittens for my Grandma

Here is my 93 year old Grandma enjoying her first pair of fingerless mittens. My Aunt saw a picture of another pair I had made and e mailed me to make a pair for Grandma. Her hands are always cold and she loves to do crossword puzzles. Now her hands will be toasty in these mittens in her favorite color. I used the Fetching pattern and Simply Soft yarn so she can wash them when they get dirty.

Tutti Fruiti Fingerless Mittens

I used the Potluck Mittenette pattern and some left over yarn and whipped up these soft and fun mittens.

Marvelous Mitts

This pattern is called Marvelous Mitts by Karen Neal. I was really happy with the way they turned out. I used Cherry Tree Hill Supersock yarn in the Country Garden colorway, solid black Koigu KPM sock yarn and 2.25 mm needles.
The right mitt is according to the pattern (I did add more corrugated rib at the wrist and before the BO). The left mitt I made some stranded design changes that I thought worked better with the busy varigated pattern yarn. So these mitts are fraternal, not identical.

Kristy's gloves

My friend Kristy wanted a pair of these fingerless mittens for her Mom's birthday. I used Cameo by Yarn Bee and the Potluck Wool Mittenettes Pattern. They knitted up fast and easy and this yarn is so soft...I almost wish they were for me!

Good N Plenty Finished!

Finally got these done..guess that's what happens when you have a jillion projects going at once.

Overdue Evangeline

I can't believe that I forgot to post these. I completed them back in August and they have been just perfect for the cool Fall and this bitterly cold Winter!

This is the only decent photo I have of them and I did eventually finish the thumb gussett. I used Renaissance Yarn on size 7 dpns for my narrow hands and wrists. This project really whipped up quick and I'm not the fastest knitter but I managed to complete these in about 10 days! All other details can be found on Ravelry.

Good N Plenty

Well, here is one of two fingerless mittens I am knitting using the Fetching pattern. I decided I needed them to match a shrug I knit a while back.
This yarn reminds me of Good N Plenty candy, one of my favorites!

Hi

Hi there,

Nice meeting you ladies (guys ?), how are you. I m a newbie in this KAL. In order not to have different tension/size of the mitten/glove using dpns, i would like to knit them on a circular needle 2 @ 1 time, does anyone has a good suggestion or has anyone done it before ? Any advice is welcome. Thank you and happy knitting........jackie

I needed these 3 months ago...

Yes 3 months ago here in Chicago was perfect weather for fingerless mitts. Last month would have been nice too since the heat wasn't working at my job. But getting these mitts has been a long journey and it isn't even over yet!
When I decided that i needed them I had my heart set on Eunny Jang's Endpapers but Eunny's website with the pattern was not working so I hunted around ravelry for others who had made the pattern and and found Monica to send me the pattern. I had this really great forest green koigu that I am in love with and this Lorna's laces that would give a nice stripe background, if it would stripe nicely. it didn't. RRRIIIIPPPP! Both of these yarns were in my stash and I really like them and I have had a particularly difficult time finding a good pattern for the lorna's laces. Ok So maybe I try a different pattern with Just the Lorna's. I kinda liked the Nereid and thought that might look nice in shades of ecru and grey and purpley-bluey black. One repeat into the cuff and I didn't like it. RRRIIIPPPP! My heart was totally set on the Endpapers. I liked the fair isle. I had never done fair isle and the stranding would make an almost double layered mitt so it would be extra warm. I gave in. I went to my fave knitting store and stared at the koigu wall. I liked gray as contrast to the dark green but camel would be nice too and look at this nice berry burgundy. It matches my coat. And there is the green-blue mix that i making a scarf out of... i love koigu. its not a yarn crack problem that I have it is a koigu crack problem that i have. Anyway I bought a gray that didn't stray too far from its muted color range-it is almost a solid, another ball of green-i don't know why. One is enough for this project. i also bought the berry burgundy and an olive green mix. So i can make another pair! crack. Its like crack. i just can't stop. It totally could have been worse and I got a free tote bag with my purchase! So now it is almost January and I have one mitt done. Almost. I have to cast off in the fancy cast off it recommends. And I still have to knit the other one. they should be ready for next fall since winter in Chicago requires industrial grade thinsulate and a minimum of 16 layers to keep one luke warm.

This is my first post here so thanks to Keri for letting me be apart of this blog!

Jo's Top-Down Baby Mitts

My cousin, who lives in a pretty cold climate, asked me to make some mitts for her two cute kids last month to keep their little hands warm. I couldn't find exactly what I was looking for (this was before the Sucky Thumb Mitts pattern was posted!), so I made up my own.



Modeled photos can be seen here and the pattern can be found on my blog.

She loved them

Just a note, my friend Lea loved the gloves and matching scarf!

Snake Mitts

My oldest grandson received a ball python for his birthday this year. I thought these were totally appropriate for him. I had to leave out one "wiggle" in the middle to make it the proper length. The pattern is Dumber Than Snake Mitts by Wendy Sonnenberg. It is available as a free Ravelry download.
