And Yet Another

As mentioned in the previous post, I was doing well, almost having completed the second Trondheim mitten only to realize I had knit two right mittens. After frogging the second one, I started a third one, this time a left-hand mitten. They were a bit snug so I was devising in my mind how to make bitten blockers out of foam core covered in plastic wrap. I almost had it finished.

I then wondered how much looser they’d be if I went up a needle size. I liberated a 2.75mm circular needle from a long-abandoned project and cast on a fourth mitten. I also used a skein of black Happy Feet sock yarn from Plymouth Yarn Company. It was probably a skein I bought at Rhinebeck a few years ago. Definitely a while back as the 50g skein of superwash merino/nylon yarn was only $6US - purchased from Hillcreek Yarn Shop.

 I again used the modified intarsia method for the windows.

To say it was tricky dealing with all those yarn ends would be an understatement. Yet I persevered.

The resulting mitten fits much better. Quite the contrast in size with only one size larger knitting needle.

So now I’ll start the 5th and hopefully final mitten.
