I finished a pair of mitts for my sweet husband to keep his hands warm while we run on cold mornings. The pattern is from
Tin Can Knits and is part of a new free ebook they have called
The Simple Collection. I love this collection not only because it is free and Tin Can Knits are one of my favorite designers (I think of them as the "
Land's End" of the knitting world with their classic and timeless designs), but also because the ebook is a great source for beginning knitters. Even though I am not a beginner, the designs appeal to me very well. For a seasoned knitter, they are the perfect take-a-break-from-challenging-designs patterns that knit quite well while watching TV.
I knit these in the Adult Medium size, and while I am modeling them in the picture, they fit my husbands little fat hands quite well! I did make a few mods to the pattern, which can be found on
my project page on Ravelry
For the yarn, I used Queensland Rustic Wool, a worsted superwash I picked up at WEBS. While the wool was kinda stiff and scratchy while knitting, boy it really softened up after soaking and blocking.
I still have a few things I want to make for hubby for running. I cast on a cowl yesterday and will be making a coordinating hat for all his running woolens. Stay tuned for my progress :)
