I joined in my very first knit- along yesterday, a mittens knit along at Hobbyboden. We are going to knit 5 pairs, and we get a new pattern each Monday.

I am not sure I will knit them all, depends how they look. This first pair was to be felted, which is the first time I tried that since I was a kid and we did this at school.

This pair I made for my daughter. She is all about purple these days, so the colour choice wasnt too difficult. The only problem was that the shop at the island hardly had any colours left, so I ended up with these red ones. She likes the colours though, especially the golden thread in the Funny yarn. They are knit in Funny and PT2. Right now they are in the washing machine getting felted, and I have no idea how they will look when they are done. Hopefully they are perfect! I cant wait :D



After two times in the washing machine they fit mom perfectly. Not sure if I will give it another go, I will wait till the princess comes home from school and hear what she thinks about them.



So now I wonder what the next mittens in the knit along will look like. I also joined in at a sew- along , but I am not a very close friend with my sewing machine these days. For some reason it doesnt seem to be very cooperative......so I don`t know if I will follow through with that....
