...so the trip to the Orthodontist with the Man driving gave me about 3 hours of knitting time - and a little bit more in the Orthodontist office as well...
...so I completed one mitten and started the second one...I'll be happy when this little project is over - this yarn is really difficult to work with on smallish needles - maybe it's OK on larger ones...it is really pretty and soft though...
...do you prefer to knit when you have a chunk of time or do you mostly knit a few stitches here and there?...
I like to knit for long stretches at a time, but often I have to settle for little bits here and there!
ReplyDeleteThe mittens look great. I have tried knitting with that kind of yarn and I'm a newbie at knitting. I found it impossible for me to work with.
ReplyDeleteI can relate. Projects are completed in snatches of time:-)
ReplyDeleteI would prefer chunks of time for everything from knitting to painting to cooking, reading-the list goes on.
ReplyDeleteIt ain't happening in my house though. I am still adjusting myself to that fact! ;)
The mittens look awesome!
Peace, Angela
A big knitting stretch is nice but I guess I'm also on the knit-it-while-I-can train. A few rows and stitches at a time do add up, albeit slowly for me. I checked out among some other books "Knitting 24/7" which is kinda like that, knitting whenever, wherever you can fit it in. I think you do better with it than I do...
ReplyDeleteI'll do either, but going to knit night or a Ravelry sit 'n stitch makes for a couple of hours of solid knitting and I really feel like I've made progress.
ReplyDeleteI wish I could knit. Maybe someday, *sigh*. Love the color of those mittens, though. Great job!
ReplyDeleteCrocheting and now knitting, for me, is always best when I have at least an hour...but I will take a moment here and there too!
ReplyDeleteI was given some of that yarn from my grandmother years ago and started a sweater for Riley. Notice I only said started. While I like the finished look it was hard or frustrating to work with and I wasn't using smaller needles.
ReplyDeleteI like to have a chunk of time - usually in front of the tele.
ReplyDeleteThat mitten is adorable! So nice that you are knitting them for someone at church.
ReplyDeleteI love when I get to work on a project for a good chunk of time, but like you that rarely happens!
Looking good!
ReplyDeleteI love a long stetch of time; but, with four children and a hubby, I knit a stitch here and a stitch there.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
