It seems our needles are laden with socks at Knitty. Here’s what we’re knitting right now:
Jillian is knitting 2 socks on 2 circular needles in Lorna’s Laces Shepherd Sport:
On Kate’s needles: two pairs of socks for spring.
There’s the Knit Picks’ “Time Traveller†colorway – a limited edition from last fall inspired by our favorite Time Traveller, The Doctor .
And a pair of socks in just about the loudest yarn imaginable: Filatura di Crosa Maxime Print in a “citrus circus insanity†(or something). Kate’s working them both at the same time on dpns, using the War & Peace inspired method. “I love this method – it guarantees no second sock syndrome, and lots and lots of amazed gasps from other sock knitters.”
Amy’s working on her Leftovers vest in Rowan Calmer…the first time she’s had the pleasure of making a sweater with this lovely stuff.
She managed to score closeouts on Calmer at the legendary home of such things, Colourway, when her friend Brenda casually mentioned it was near the train station in town. There was much plotzing and the yarn score ensued. Enough for a stripy vest for £20. I know!
For insurance, and because she’s like that, she added another ball of [discontinued! who discontinues black??] black and one of super-pale pink, recommended personally by the goddess of color, Barbara Gregory, once she got back Canada-side.
Our winner of one large and one small HiyaHiya Interchangeable Needle sets is comment #1779: Patricia Congratulations, and happy knitting!
A bunch of Knitty readers got hit by another winter storm last night. Jillian got 8″ of snow, after having two days in the 50’s F last week.
To help ease the pain of more winter weather we’re having a giveaway!
How about a kit to knit the 3 pairs of the Shelburne Mittens in our latest issue?

Good luck, good knitting and keep warm if you’re snowy!
It’s snowing right now, as I read this!
Felted tweed? Yum!
I’d love to enter 🙂 those mittens look fab!
Mmm…Felted tweed. Purty yarn.
Ooh. Lovely felted tweed.
Wow! Love all those socks! I’ve got a pair on the needles myself. Funny thing, I was just eyeing those mittens earlier today… and regretting the fact I have nothing in my stash to knit them with… 😉
We may get more snow soon, so I could use some mitten kits to keep me occupied and eventually keep our fingers cozy.
Oh my gosh they look so warm and comfy!
I could have used some warmer mittens shoveling today.
I need to cast on for some socks. And some mittens.
Include me in. They are beautiful!
I’m in Wyoming, where it will be mitten season for several more months, so these would be very useful as well as beautiful.
Socks are beautiful!!! Mittens are absolutely delicious!!!!
Those mittens look pretty and warm. I love tweed!
No snow here yet … but I see it creeping down the mountains yowards me!!!
I would love to knit those mittens! We didn’t get too much snow last night, but I am sure more will come and the mittens will come in handy!!
Would love to win! I’m also getting the urge to start some socks now…
Mmmm, nice mitts. And the 2-in-1 socks have just about blown my mind…. must look into that technique!
Loving me some mittens…as both of my girls are in college in the snow.
I love felted tweed!
Those mittens make me drool a bit. Those look so cozy and soft and warm. I haven’t worked with a tweed yarn in a long time, and I would love to do so.
Oh yeah I want mittens – they would be perfect for the frosty Danish weater 🙂
The freezing rain has started again! I need mittens and the ones pictured would be perfect!
I haven’t knitted any mittens yet, this would be great incentive to start.
It’s gone cold here in Ottawa, need mittens! (gloves are not enough)
The snow hasn’t left the ground since November here.
A skill-testing question? o.O Well, I guess it’s worth a shot! I’ve only done one pair of mittens since I tend to be cheap and only buy enough yarn to accomplish fingerless gloves. XD
Ooooohhhh pick me!
we can always use extra mittens up here in buffalo and we are a family of free so we’d be perfect!
I’ve been wanting to try out Rowan Felted Tweed!
Oh, I’d love some mittens.
The snow just started again here in Chicago so I can always use new mittens!
We had some lovely snow that looks pretty and is almost melted off the roads already today. But darn is it COLD out there! Mittens would be welcome. 🙂
I’ve never knitted mittens before but would love to start! 🙂
I love these mittens! And gorgeous yarn to boot? Awesome!
What an awesome giveaway! Thanks!
Mittens seem like the perfect next project.
Yay mitteny goodness! Also those socks look stellar!
sweet! mittens!
I never used to wear mittens. It’s only since I’ve started knitting again that I have learned to appreciate their comfy warmth. That pattern looks especially warm and snuggly. Hope i win!
Great prize, we’re supposed to get some snow tonight!
Fun colored socks AND chucks in the same picture!? Almost too much awesome for me…almost.
Oh, I love mittens!
Oh, those mittens look wonderfully warm!
Rain and Ice Watch here in VA. Mittens would be so good…we aren’t used to this cold! Need to get my act in gear and learn to do socks two at a time. Brrr…
yep– we’re back to mitten weather here again too. great for snow balls! the yarn and pattern look wonderful, kind of makes you want to wear mittens– and that’ saying a lot at this point of the season!
mitts looks warm….yes
Those would be some warm, squishy mittens!
I am getting more snow also! Warm mittens Rock!
I really need to try that two-at-a-time on DPNs approach… and also, please enter me into the drawing!
I never win anything but I still keep trying.
Oh, perfect! We have exactly three people in our family!
2 socks at once on a single set of DPNs. How neat is that! Thanks for sharing. I love Rowan Felted Tweed so wish me luck with the contest!
Felted tweed is always worth an entry comment. I just bought more yarn at Stitches West than I can use in months but the more the merrier as winter doesn’t seem to be disappearing any time soon.
Hooray for mittens and cheery springy stripy socks!
I would love to knit two at a time on DPNs, but my skill level isn’t quite there yet. One day I’ll do it!
Oooh, I really want to make these mittens!
I am planning on knitting mittens and mitts for family members for Christmas 2011…this would give me a start!
Love the mittens.
Winter is here again–we could use more mittens!
Those mittens look scrumptious! And I am gasping amazed at knitting two socks at one time on DPNs.
I’m in. I could use a quick knit. 🙂 Thanks!
Ooh, a mitten kit. I love knitting mittens!
What pretty mittens!!
We had a good 4 inches last night. I hate the thought of needing the mittens, but they are so nice!
Would make great gifts for my family-
Horray for socks, I’m still working on my first pair
socks are great! … and mittens too 🙂
My hands are freezing as I type!!!
I doubt we’ll have much more cold weather down south where I am… but by the time I finished three pairs of mittens (mingled in with my sock obsession) it would be winter again! So – perfect timing 😉
Love those mittens!
No snow here in Texas – it is 60F and beautiful! But I would still like to win 🙂
I prefer Jillian’s method for socks.
It’s snowy here — new mittens (to knit) would be great!
It’s sunny here, but mittens are always fun and I love those!
I love those mitts!
I love the time traveler socks. I wish I hadn’t put off ordering that colorway.
I would love a chance to make these! 🙂
All the ice mess melted in the Midwest, in time for 50s today, temps dropping, and now rain/sleet. Send more yarn, please! 🙂
I would like to make those mittens!
It’s snowing in Chicago, too. I definitely need more mittens and Shelburnes are already in my Fav list.
I forgot my mittens today and it’s snowing kittens and Pterodactyls!!
No snow in Seattle, but it’s COLD! We could use the mittens here!
Possible snow tomorrow makes for great mitten weather! 🙂
I wish I didn’t need mittens any more, but I do. Winter still isn’t over.
Oooh, felted tweed by Rowan. I love knitting with this. I used most of my stash making Chrissy prezzies.
it’s not snowy here in Denver, but you never know 🙂
With new snow today, and more later this week, we could all use fresh mitts around here. I’ve worn a hole in a pair where the shovel handle rubs the base of my thumb. Depressing, ain’t it?
Yes please! I’d love some free yarn!
Lovely yarn, would love to make mittens with them.
I would love to have that beautiful yarn for mittens.
I’d love seven skeins of chunky, warm yarn to plan ahead for some mittens, hats and scarves for next winter!
Yes please, here in Chicagoland we practically wear mittens 10 months a year!
While I never win anything here … I keep hoping 😀
Beautiful yarn!
Part of my family just moved to Alaska so I had these queued up for them already. I’d love a free kit to make them!
Beautiful mittens – more snow coming today, I think we will need mittens til June this year in Wisconsin
I just knitted my first Shelburne and really like the pattern. I’d happily knit more.
Great giveaway!
Beautiful yarn

Thanks for the great contest!
Ooohhh!! That’s OUR storm! We got mad amounts of snow in 24 hours. (Secretly I kind of like it). We have to stay in and knit! 🙂

I love the snow give away, I am in southern PA so the snow is on its way here…boo

My family can always use new mittens!
I would love to make those mittens!
the mittens are lovely (and so are the two-at-once socks!!) – sign me up!
I desperately need new mittens.
No snow here (my part of Texas doesn’t get much) but mitten knitting would make being stuck in bed with the flu much less boring, so I’m throwing my hat in the ring. Good luck everybody!
I’m hoping my need for mittens this season has passed, but I know I’ll need some for next year and I have a 3 person family.
With the unpredictable weather here in Colorado it would be nice to knit up some warm mittens for the family. I hope I win 🙂
We had record breaking snow on Wednesday of last week and it was in the 70’s by Sunday. I’m hoping mitten season’s about over here, but maybe knitting a new pair will help the weather cooperate.
I’ve been meaning to make matching Shelburne for my boyfriend and I, but he’s being deployed with the U.S. Army this spring, so I’ll have to hold off for a year 🙁
Maybe I’ll just buy the yarn now and make them as a good-luck charm?
I have no mittens 🙁 I would love to win!!
Love the snow! I work at a school, and love snow closings as much as I did as a child. Bring on da mitts, bring on da funk!
I love this pattern!
want it!
we had 14″ of snow last night in Northern PA a great place for mitten yarn to find a home
So pretty
I love me some mittens. And those Who socks look fantastic!
We’re getting snow tonight! Need mittens…
Would love to knit up some mittens. Although weather here in SF doesn’t exactly require them like other places might, my hands still get cold when the sun sets!
I don’t think this winter will ever end! We got 17 inches again yesterday and a couple more coming down this afternoon! Fortunately, we had a week of melting before this, otherwise I’m not sure where we would have put this new batch!
The mittens look like great fun! Please put my name in the hat. 🙂
those mittens are too cute
I have never made mittens, winning would give me good reason to try!
Good morning,
The mittens would make the perfect holiday gift for our Australian Christmas in July ~ pick me, please!
The snow took its revenge here. I snows again, also in France. And I think I need a good new pair of mittens !!!

Ooh! I like mittens!
Oh yes, please send me something that isn’t snow.
And what about this War and Peace inspired method. I’m curious, could you tell more about it ?
I love those mittens. I’d love to knit them. If only I had money for yarn…
Oh I could use some more mittens. After 20 years in Atlanta, my mitten stash it pitiful. Snow this morning and more at the end of the week…..
Very pretty.
Love the socks! I’ve never seen the 2-at-a-time-on-DPNs method before – how does that work? And I’d love to win the mitten yarn; I just looked at that pattern today and thought, must make these mittens!
Lovely! Ah, the mittens I could make… :o)
We’re getting cold rain right now, and our ice has finally melted. There’s no guarantee we’re finished with winter though! Thanks for having this giveaway.
Love those mittens, and would love to win!

I really like that mitten pattern. Now if I only had yarn to make it….
Oooo! My family in Minnesota could really use warm mittens!

That is awesome! Winter is definitely not over, so I and everybody I know could use more mittens.
What a lovely lot of socks, and a lovely give away:)
Lovin’ the sock knitting, and I’m giving a stab at the two-socks-at-once method. It’s kind of fun! but tricky to do while doing anything else.
Mittens! I think the entire nation could use mittens after the winter we are having! Lovely things.
Since winter has returned to the Midwest with a vengeance, socks and mittens are still needed and if they’re made with this lovely yarn, they are most appreciated.
I love making mittens!
Here in Wi we still need mittens, it’s cold!
Thank you for the chance to enter!
Oooh – mittens! We are just heading towards autumn here, so these are well timed for us too. 🙂
footmj(at)xtra(dot)co(dot)nz
I got 8″ last night too, so could definitely use a set of good mittens!
I’m also interested in the War and Peace sock method, but I do love the colorways of both of her pairs of socks!
Always, all ways happy to enter a giveaway at Knitty. In some ways it doesn’t matter if I win (though I’d love to!)
Another nice giveaway! Thank you!
Oooh winter in the Midwest is still going strong. I’d love to get my hands on those mittens!
Gorgeous mittens! I’d love to try them!
Yes, tell us more about 2 socks on dpns! And then I’ll adapt it to knit two mittens at a time and avoid second-mitten-syndrome.
I need mittens – it would be great to be the winner!
Count me in, I am a big Rowan fan! Thanks!
I love the mittens! And it’s getting disappointingly colder here too…brr.
very fond of those mittens and would love to try the felted tweed!
Even Georgia has been cold this year. I need to win and knit so I can be prepared for next season’s snowfall! Great prize!
Wow! Great yarn and we just had an ice storm here.
Love these mittens and could certainly use them here in the Midwest!
Great way to warm up this winter
We love mittens in our family. They keep the fingers from getting lonely!

Mittens! I definitely need to knit a few pairs…

They’d be perfect for this Montana winter! Cute and warm 🙂
I have been wanting to knit some mittens..never have. Now would be a good time!!
I am a sock knitter but am waiting to be seduced into mittens.
I see winter presents for my family (and time to knit them as I’m in the Southern hemisphere!)
i love the shelburne pattern. i printed it out but haven’t gotten around to making them yet.
We don’t have snow right now, but it is supposed to become colder again in the next days. And the railway is going in strike tomorrow.
So I’d like to make those mittens, too. 😉
Oooooo Mittens! FELTED yarn!! YUM!!!
Not as cold in Phoenix, but we can use mittens sometimes too! Thanks for another contest!

Dr # 10, of course!!! I still miss David Tennant, even though I have grown fond of Matt Smith!
Those mittens are adorable and I know lots of people who would welcome a pair!
I would LOVE to make the Shelburne mittens–I’ve been eying them for weeks!!
Pick me! Pick me!
Sounds great! Please count me in. Thanks.
Just the thing for a long, cold winter in Maine.
It’s so nice to see a pattern for mittens that looks stylish without a super intimidating pattern. Oh, and it’s hard to chose between the Doctor’s! In actual fact I cast on for a sock tonight whilst watching a Matt Smith episode.
I would love to win the mittens kit! As it is still summer here in OZ I would have time to knit them before the winter (or what passes for winter where I live) starts. I have a sister and a niece who have very cold hands!
These mittens look so cozy! Still plenty of cold weather left this winter to need them.
I was confused by the mention of the “War and Peace method” Despite the confusion, I am not confused about the fact that I would love to win! Thank you!
No snow, but it is COLD out!
yay – mittens in MN! Hope I win. 🙂
A pair for me…a pair for hubby…a pair to spare. I would love to make these mitts.
Another lovely prize! And I need mittens! I’m in!
Thanks!
I’m not sure which are cuter: the socks or the mittens!
I got some of the same snow as Jillian I could use more mittens! Altho, that Doctor Who colorway is pretty awesome…
It snowed here in NYC, too…64 last week. I. cannot. stand. it.
Love the socks, love the mittens!
I’ve noticed my glove/mitten collection growing lately… but I don’t think it would hurt to add a few more…
sigh. we have at least another 6 weeks of mitten-wearing around here—-at least.
Would love to try and make a pair.
Perfect for my family in Minnesota!
Mittens are good – even in Vancouver!
After a week of 70 degree weather, we are back in the thick of winter. (((sigh))) Better work on more mittens–LOL!
Nice! My hands are always cold. I need mittens!
the mittens are nice–but i’m really curious about the “war and peace” method…
I wouldn’t normally sign up for a chance to win a mitten kit, since I live in South Florida. However, my daughter is in college in central Florida, and it gets a little colder there! She could stand some mittens to keep her fingers warm next winter.
WOW! I could definitely use these-so toasty! Thanks for all the great giveaways:)
you guys are the greatest at giveaways
My husband wants a new pair of mittens, I could use a new pair, and the third could be a gift — what could be better!

Snow tonight. Mittens tomorrow.
Eeh. Mittens are way better than gloves.
Just found out about these contests even though I’ve been following Knitting for a while on Twitter – figured it was worth a shot! Who wouldn’t be able to use new mittens?
We are a family of 3! Obviously I should win. Ski vacation is in two weeks…
Colorado needs more mittens!
I would love to add more mittens to my basket of hats/scarfs/mittens.
Woo-hoo! I just got home and my hands are freezing, so new mittens would be just the thing. Thanks for the chance!!
Yay chunky mitts! I could have them in time for this winter!
I don’t live with my family, but myself, my fiance, and our roommate does make three, so… pleeease?
Handknit mittens are lovely.
I’m loving my mittens these days!
I need mittenses. Might try Shelburne.
I love this one! Those mittens are wonderful.

Mama with no yarn makes babies cry. Especially my baby. Or maybe it’s babies crying makes Mama want yarn-? …
Someday, when I grow up, I’d like to be a sock knitter. Until then, I will settle for your big ol’ bag of mitten yarn. 🙂
I was *just* telling someone I wanted to try mittens.
Perfect mittens for our Chicago winters!

I saw that pattern and fell in love. It’s already on my to-knit list!
I’ve just started knitting mittens after years of socks, and I love them! I’d love to knit more…

I would love to make some mittens for my family up north. I like to tease them about the cold while I enjoy my subtropical home.
A Ma Ma, Pa Pa, and Baby pair? Just right! 🙂

I need to wear all of the mittens at once if I shovel any more in the near future
I’ve never knit mittens – it would be fun to try!
Love the colors! Any photos of the vest?
I love that The Doctor (season 2-4) wears Chucks 🙂 I’m knitting a Doctor Who scarf…it’s so very long already and only halfway done!
I’ll play! Thank you for doing these awesome contests!
Ali

MITTENS!!! I’m from Chicago… we wear mittens until April 🙂 Me Please!!!
It’s supposed to snow for 3 days here – in February? This is Portland Oregon, not the mid-west! That would be fabulous prize!
Sweet, I was thinking about knitting these mittens for a friend, and could always use an extra pair for myself since I just moved to Chicago!
Rowan yarns are so yummy! I’d love to win the kit and make some new mitts!
A set would be just be perfect for my daughter, son & I! Plus they’d be a great way to get my daughter started on knitting.
I need new mittens, mine are a few years old and starting to wear 🙁
Have never tried mittens so it is about time for me! (If I win!)
more snow just arrived, more on it’s way… and I’ve lost my right fingerless glove that I knit… I need to knit me some new ones!
Love those mittens!
WooHoo mittens!!! And it’s going to be cold enough to wear them for another solid couple months…at least…:(
Wow! My boys would love new mittens, and now, there’s 3 of them! I’ve got the swatch for a baby blanket I’m designing for the youngest on my needles. Stay warm!

Perfect. One pair for me, and one for each of my sons.
I just finished knitting two pairs of socks on two needles and I’m about to cast on Summit. I’ve got empty needles available for some mittens. 😉
I’m knitting “Time Traveler” socks now also.
The mittens look nice and warm.
beautiful mittens….it’s freezing here in peterborough……need mittens!

I saw the Shelburne mittens, and they called out to me.
Perhaps because I live in Shelburne, NS? 🙂
those are really cool socks……..
on a nifty note, this contest closes the day before my birthday (and my SO’s is the day after mine)!! i could use some mittens……..hint hint……
Pick Me!
Beautiful yarn!
Mittens are popular here. None lost (yet, knock on wood), but more needed.
Mittens! I’ve knit a lot of just plain ones (I have three kids after all!) And it is probably about time for me to knit something a bit more interesting for mittens. 🙂
It’s Spring in Tennessee, but I’ve been on a mad finishing spree on some winter woolies and so I’m hoping for a bit of dogwood winter!
We’re in the midst of a storm. We’ve got about 4 inches and are supposed to double that overnight. I would LOVE to have some nice warm mittens!
Would love to make those so I can take my sister and her daughter along with my husband and I when we go to the mountains again. She loves her blankets I made her and can’t stop making things for her.
Please choose me 🙂
Mittens for everyone!!
Who couldn’t use those lovely mittens it’s still winter here and it keeps coming back!!!!!!!!
Midwest snow storms are giving me the blues! Nine inches of snow last night and more expected tonight. I need to knit more mittens and Rowan yarn is just what I need!
We have sleet and snow scheduled for tonight and early tomorrow morning. Just right for mittens!
We’ve been having 65-70F days the past week and a half, but I know winter isn’t over yet! I’d love to win the mittens kit! 🙂
I knit mittens for all the grandkids this year, and fingerless mitts for myself and a bunch of other people, but no mittens for me. 🙁 Love all the socks you are all working on!
It just started snowing again here, so I could use some mittens!
I’m obsessed with mittens right now and could sure use a new pair.
perfect for these wintery days!! thanks for the giveaway!
I haven’t made a pair of mittens in ages. I’d love to make a pair soon. 🙂
Mittens…. ah yes… at this point in the season, we’re down to singles… would love to make some to stock up for next season!
Just returned to work after 4 lovely days at Madrona Fiber Arts retreat, all I can think about is knitting!!!
Great contest, especially since I NEED new mittens. My store-bought ones acquired a hole. (Should I bite my tongue for admitting I bought instead of knitted?) I could remedy that 🙂
too warm in Florida for mittens now, but I till have friends in the dreat white north who woul LoVE a pir of hand made hand warmers!
I love Rowan! Ready to knit some mittens!
I am knitting a baby hat out of some green bamboo yarn.

I’d love to make mittens for my entire family.
I am knitting my poor chilly fingers to the bone and I really need to make some mittens. Please select me to win!!
Oooh, that would be a cool prize to win! Pick me, oh random number generator…
New mittens would make all the snow slightly more bearable. Thanks for the giveaway!
Lovely! After the additional 12inches we just received in MN, I think I have plenty of mitten knitting time left this winter.
Its chilly even here in normally sunny SoCal! And I love Rowan!
ooh … mittens … I need to make some mittens … especially since we got orders to go to Milwaukee from DC this week … right now I have way too many things on the needles … need to get them finished up and off to their new homes!
yes please – I would love to try this yarn 🙂
Ooooh I love mittens!!! They are one of the few things I have managed to finish for myself this winter (as I knit from under a half finished log cabin blanket destined for my bed).
Currently trying to get through some of my stash by actually knitting the projects I bought the yarn for. Working on a cable cardigan for a baby.
Would love to make some cozy mittens however, as it’s positively frigid here in southern Ontario.
Hilary
Ooh, those mittens look cozy and warm! I’d love to try the “War and Peace method” 2-at-a-time socks, but I just KNOW I’d cross a stitch somewhere and not find out until I go to pull them apart. 😛
I’ve got a hat on the needles right now, but next up could be some cozy mittens!
Ah, cozy… =)
Yay Mittens!!
My daughter is having her first baby and I would love to knit her and her little girl a pair of matching mittens. She’s been having a hard time and these would really cheer her up!
Love the sock knitting update! Hope to learn the two at a time on dpns someday!
Me. I have 3 people in my life who could really use them. 🙂
I’m almost as obsessed with mittens as I am with socks!
Loving the Time Traveller colourway. So nifty! Thanks for the contest!
We aren’t having any snow storms out my way…but it gets pretty cold. wouldn’t mind some yarn to knit up those great mittens!
Nice prize! Nifty mitts!
Mittens for my wife, myself, and our daughter, all in the Canadian winter. Pick me please!
Winter is coming in the Southern Hemisphere and these would be great to finish before then!
I’m currently knitting Rose Red by Ysolda Teague. Almost done! 🙂
Hmm. On the needles: Mondo Cable Cardi, “coffee bean socks”, christmas socks, a vest “hibernating, a tank/sleeveless summer sweater also hibernating, an almost forgotten pair of socks alas, also hibernating. And yet I still hope to win more yarn. Knitting, my little addiction.
Rowan is amazing and those mittens sure look cozy!
I just finished a hat and mitts for my granddaughter, a hat for my grandson, a shawl and October Woodland mitts are underway. I love new mitts patterns.
I would love to make those. We can always use mittens in this house. I’m currently swatching for a pair of fetchings. Not quite mittens, but pretty close. 🙂
I love that Tweed Chunky!
Adorable mittens! They would sure come in handy with our ICE-coated everything!
This morning on the bus to school I found a hole in my favorite mittens 🙁 … time to stop knitting socks ad sweaters for a while 🙂
We just had more snow today. Looks like old man winter is still here. I need to knit another pair of mitts to keep warm! Brrr….
I’m finishing up a cardigan, and since the snow is still falling here I’m not quite ready to give up the winter knitting! I would loooove these mittens!
Omg!!! Yarn!! I love yarn!!!

I am so into mittens this season! Must be the weather! Share the warmth!

Beautiful mittens! Thanks for the contest!
I’ve been meaning to make some of those mittens.
Oooh I’d love to knit these!
Gotta love a chance for free yarn goodies! I really need to learn how to do 2 socks at once.
It’s snowing here, too, after two days in the 50s… Sigh. Maybe I still need to make mittens!
I’m moving from California to Oregon soon, and I’ll need some mittens. I hope you pick me!
I like those mittens a whole heck of a lot, haven’t tried that yarn yet but I bet its lovely.
Ooh! Mittenses!
Would love to win the yarn to make those mittens!!
Oh I love knitting mittens! Such quick satisfaction. I have a whole bunch of relatives back in the snowy north who would love a pair!
I am also working on 2 socks on 2 circs. I have been dying to try the 2 at a time because I love double knitting. I just found a bag with a serious UFO: hats in progress from…are you ready for it?…25 years ago. Just in time ti finish for my grandson. Colors are back in fashion. Oh, my.
Pick Me!!! Feb 23rd is my birthday and I’d love to win a Yarn-y present!
My kids have the perfect hands to model mittens!
I’d looove some wonderful yarn for beautiful mittens — just moved here from Los Angeles — and Pittsburgh is COLD AND SNOWY this year!
I really have to try that two needle thing as well!
Drool redux!
Oh, man, and I could use some mittens, too!
These mittens are adorable and the texture would keep the pattern from being boring. I’d wear those from October-early April here in PA!
Comment comment comment! Also we got a foot of snow so we need mittens!!
Awesome! I would love to knit up these mittens. The pattern’s already in my queue. 🙂
I’m a naughty kitten. I’ve lost my mittens and need top knit some more.

Beautiful mittens!
Beautiful mittens! I’d love to win.
OOOO, Mittens!
We got another foot of snow last night!… Reminds me of the Shel Silversteing poem:
I made myself a snow ball as perfect as could be.
I thought I’d keep it as a pet and let it sleep with me.
I made it some pajamas and a pillow for it’s head.
Then, last night it ran away.
But first — it wet the bed.
{**If you pick me, I promise to make mittens and not snowman jammies.}
Working on fingerless gloves! And it was 70 here today but my hands are always cold at work… 🙂
Pretty yarn, pretty pattern! Pick me please!
I’ve had shellburne in my queue on raverly since it came out, but haven’t found an appropriate yarn in my stash yet.
We also had a wonderful springlike weekend only to be followed by a week of cold and rain. This giveaway is just the thing to warm me up.
Today I had to drive on ice during a whiteout to go to the dentist to have a root canal. I then drove back home in the mixed snow and sleet to nurse my swollen mouth. Did I mention this is the second root canal in five weeks?
I definitely need some knitting time!
I’m actually NOT ready for winter to go…. so would be thrilled to knit more mittens! 😀
It’s been quite a while since I’ve actually finished a pair of socks, but now I’m inspired to try again.
Would love to win the beautiful set! :0)
So many great giveaways! Thanks.
Love the socks!
I want to make those mittens! Scarves, be damned!
We got another 5 inches after 59 degrees last week. Those mittens sure would have been nice on my cold hands this morning!!
wow, I’ve always wanted to try rowan yarns. This is such a great contest!
Those mittens look so cute – my kids would love them and I’d love trying out the yarn
Oh, how nice…I’ve been wanting to try Rowan Felted Tweed Chunky
Wow, awesome giveaway! Gotta love mittens.
I love seeing all your socks! Pick me for the giveaway, I’d love to try out some Rowan yarn, my LYS doesn’t carry it.
My fingers are cold, and so are those of my two sisters! Me, me, please.
Mittens are wonderful things!!
I’ve made fingerless mitts, but not mittens. The yarn looks lovely!
I am really primarily a sock knitter but mittens are like socks for the hands, aren’t they?
How did you know I’ve been on a mitten knitting jag lately?
Gorgeous mittens – pick me! Pick me!
I would love to knit with that yarn!
I’m on a sock-knitting kick (so to speak) and would absolutely LOVE to follow it up with a mitten-knitting streak! And maybe a hat to go with them…
Yep, had a nice friday afternoon only to be blown away by horrible winds over the weekend and then get to wake up to 4-6″ of snow. It would be nice to have something good come next 🙂
Purdy
Oh! I already have these mittens cued! Would love to win a kit.
Looks like a great pattern to use with some really nice yarn! Happy knitting!
Cat
Ooooh cute!!! I am so intrigued by the idea of making 2 socks at a time on DPNs, I must learn this! I can practice by making the mittens with the yarn in the contest! 😛
Beautiful mittens!
Oooo! I’ve recently gotten in to mitten knitting. I’d love to have a chance to try these!
I love mittens and socks!! Fingers (and toes) crossed!
Here in MD it was in the 70s on Friday. It’s now, three days later, snowing and we’re expecting 4-6 inches. How does this happen?!
Mittens are a necessary thing.
Mittens have been on my to-do list for ages. The kit sounds fabulous!
Lovely mittens! We had a foot of new snow overnight… mittens are good.
; )
Looks like snow is heading our way in the Pacific NW. I would LOVE to have an excuse to fondle me some Rowan! As if anyone NEEDS a reason…
Those mittens look so cozy!
@Katie A – I’m from MD too and I can’t believe the crazy weather either. But this giveaway will help us cope with the mother nature’s mood swings. LOL!!
Time Traveller yarn?! No way. =)
This post made me want to grab my skeins of Time Traveler and get knitting. Too bad it’s too cold here to put on my Chucks too.
beautiful pattern, would love to be entered please! ♥
looks like a really fun kit to knit up! can’t wait to see who wins!
Just finished my first toe up sock and started the second! Love the figure eight cast on. The give aways look so yummy!
I’d love to give these mittens a try (even though I hope we’re done with substantial snows for the season).
Fun!
I vote for the tenth doctor (the hair! the glasses!).
Can’t wait to make those mittens! Making s’mores tonight in below 0 temps and wishing for warmer mitts.
I just finished a felted bag made with Lopi wool. Came out terrific. If I know how to post a pic I would diffently. Working a pair of socks now. Haven’t made them in forever. Fingers crossed.
Hubba hubba! I will love that kit if it gets to come home to me.
I never have anything to say, other than, enter me! These look so cozy.
In Montana it feels like “The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe” always winter and never Christmas. Mittens and socks are coveted.
Those mittens look so warm and cozy! Would love to make a set up!
I love mittens!!!
Sounds like fun!
Haven’t knitted mittens in quite a while. Would love to try the Rowan yarn. Knitting helps keep my sanity, especially after getting dumped with 10″ of snow here in Michigan.
I love knitting mittens! And with tweed yarn, yummy!
Mittens, mittens,mittens!
I need mittens!! Pick Me!!
Love those mittens!
The warmth of those mittens looks nice.

Would love to knit some mitttens.
We just got 14 inches of snow so I need mittens!
I’ve been on such a mitten kick lately! Everyone will get mittens! yay!
Mittens are fun to make and are always needed by my family. We had 60 degrees, 2 days later -20 and lately 50’s. We keep our mittens close by!
tweed is my kryptonite…
Would these be lovely to knit – just in time for next Winter. How lovely.
I love to wear mittens so much more than gloves!! They are fun to knit, too!!
Mittens, please! MITTENS!
I’ve never made mittens before. I want to try since we moved to where it snows.
I don’t think this winter is ever going to end! I really, really need mittens! <3

I’ve never made mittens!
Thanks for sponsoring the contest, Rowan and Westminster!
I love the colors in that Calmer sweater! Fingers crossed for the pretty Chunky yarn!
knitting on two circulars how cool
Can you believe I’ve never knitted mittens?!
Skill-testing question, eh? I think I can swing that. Also, we need more mittens here…
Love them! Pick me! (and thanks for the contest)
Those mittens have been On my list! Especially since the groundhog seems to have lied!
Ooh, I have been mourning the loss of my right mitten and need to knit a replacement pair, this would certainly help!
Sounds great – thanks for the give-a-way!
I’ve been in a total knitting funk lately courtesy of the ole depression, but I’m hoping I can get my groove back and make myself some fun socks.
Lovely mittens and wonderful socks!
It’s snowing here now – I need mittens!
Mighty Mittens Batman! Please enter me in the contest!
Mittens, I LOVE them — keep my hand so much toastier than gloves!
I will be so toasty!
Thank you for another wonderful contest.
I love the yarn and I love the pattern! Will have to make some whether I win or not – but it sure would be nice…
It’s cold where I live. My whole family needs mittens! I’d love that kit.
Pretty mittens and socks!
Cute mittens! and a some lovely WIPs as well :o)
I find myself suddenly really wishing my name was Patricia!!! Lucky, lucky lass! But once again another good contest among wonderful information! I’ve never knit with Rowan before, and knitting mittens is still on my bucket list – to do.
Why Jillian, i think you and i must live in the same place. It was still snowing when we got home from work today too. 🙁
But that is what pretty/warm mittens and hot chocolate are for. 🙂
I love making mittens and that pattern is on my list, pick me
Love these mittens, and the yarn. Would love to make these for my daughter!
Oh please, pick me, pick me! I need some nice mittens and I can find 2 other people who need some, too.
It’s sleeting here…
Oooooh, I’ve not tried this yarn. Maybe now I could!
no more snow here today – but i’ve got the stomach flu and I’M TOO SICK TO KNIT :C
New yarn, new patterns, so much to love!
It’s snowing here in Whistler BC too. I need more Mittens!
OOh! These would be my first mittens! They’d come in handy, since winter isn’t ending here any time soon!
I just did Fiddlehead lined mittens with Rowan Tweed in the DK weight, so would LOVE to try this larger gauge yarn and those patterns.
I’m in the midst of an ice storm and could definitely use some mittens! :o)
I need mittens! I take a bus or walk to work.
I have 4 projects on needles: a prayer shawl, a helmet liner for the troops, bed socks using a strand of worsted and a strand of sock yarn (called Wisconsin socks), and a circular shawl.
Too yummy — it’s warming up in Tennessee, but most of my family is in Minnesota and would love toasty mittens!
I love mittens!
love the calmer vest. I enjoyed using that yarn. Looking forward to trying some chunky tweed. 🙂
What’s the War and Peace method?
I loved reading that part of War and Peace, and have tried that method of knitting two socks at once, but didn’t finish — need more practice/attention to the fine details. So I’m impressed, and want to try it again (it would probably also work with mittens, without the thumbs). Knitting is great in snowy weather.
Love Socks!!
Those mittens look so cozy!
I’m in Boston and pretty sure I won’t see the ground till May! A few pairs of mittens would be put to good use! 🙂
I love Rowan Felted Tweed and I like to make mittens.
It’s not that cold here, but I’d still love some yarn. 😀

i have only knit 2 pairs of mittens. I am hoping to improve my mitten (and sock) knitting skills this year. Would love to win this:)
I love the timetraveller color way:) dh and I are both big Dr. Who fans.
Finally got dug out of the snow here, so I’ve got time for knitting some mittens now! =)
I would love to win the yarn to knit mittens!! That would just be awesome!

I love the mittens! This yarn would be great 🙂
After our second blizzard, mittens sure would be nice while I am digging out my car!
Love hope I win
What a cozy giveaway! Count me in!
I really do love knitting mittens.
we had a freak snowstorm of 2 inches (5 cm) last nightin Toronto. sat & listened to my friend tell stories of how cold it was before he donned mittens growing up in Winnipeg. living in Toronto he puts on mitts before it hits zero degrees.
I’d love to win the mitten kit! Thanks for the giveaway.
Mother Nature delivered another foot of snow here today. I NEED mittens…warm, wooly mittens! Pick me!!!!!!
Oooh I didn’t realized Rowan felted tweed came in chunky! I bet it would make amazing mittens.

Try, try again… Hope to win. I LOVE Rowan!!
We had a days of almost 70’F late last week, and now its supposed to snow tonight!

Those mittens look like they would be great for a snowball fight!
Mittens!! We’ve had freakishly cold weather for the Bay Area and I’m totally appreciating the idea of mittens.

I am sorely in need as my puppy tore a big hole through my very first mitten.

And win yarn for more she’ll try! 🙂
Mmmm…. warm mittens, just what to send my friends in Wisconsin, while bragging about the temperatures in California
I have three daughters so this kit would be perfect! We live in Central NY so I don’t complain about snow…if I did I’d be complaining all winter long!
certainly could use some mittens with the weather in NS lately!
We’re getting snow again this week…must have more wool!
Lovely projects! I’ve not tried mittens, yet.
I love mittens and have never knit a pair of socks in favour of mittens. That’s my dirty little secret.
Love some mittens! still plenty of winter left!
In RI we could use some nice warm mittens for our cold hands.
Lovely! We’re expecting a bit of snow tonight, and those mittens look just the thing 🙂

Yay! Mittens! I hope I win 😀
I have been dying to make mittens but haven’t gotten around to it yet! This is just the incentive I need to get going on them! I would absolutely love to win this giveaway.

That vest looks delicious! Can’t wait to see the finished product.
Yay mittens! I am also on a sock kick… Cast off last night and will cast on a new pair this evening.
I need those mittens after this winter of winters.
Love those mittens, perfect for the 12″ we got yesterday!
I’d love to try the above “War and Peace” method for knitting two socks at once!
These are great!!!
Yippee! Mittens! I’m making a pullover with Calmer – a great yarn.
Since it seems that winter will never end, more mittens are needed….
lovely looking kit!!
In love with felted tweed. Smitten, even. 🙂
Thanks for the chance! Love felted tweed.
Those look cozy. They would come in very handy.
Yay! I just learned how to knit mittens. I love this contest!
Can you have too many mittens?
It is snowing another 5″ tonight. These mittens would be very welcome, especially in the felted tweed.
Beautiful! The projects and the kit 🙂
Love the yarn and the mittens look so cozy.
With a KAL and a Charlie Brown sweater on my needles now, a beautiful pair of mittens would be a nice side project. One pair each for my ‘just turned 11’ daughter, my blue-eyed red-head son, and my wonderful husband.
I’m making a ruffled shrug with Poem yarn. Would love to stock up on some gift mittens!
David Tennant forever! When I was 16, I sat and watched him in a play at The Other Place, in Stratford-Upon-Avon, in a play which also featured Joseph Fiennes. Joseph had full-on Bobcat Goldthwaite voice back then, he’s learned to temper it now. But David, oh DAVID! I swoon!
If this cold and snow don’t quit soon, I will need many more mittens to get through it.
I have this goal of making enough pairs of mittens and gloves to have a mitten-themed giveaway and Christmas party this year. This would be an awesome head start 🙂
I would love to win! Thanks for the great contest.
A family with matching mittens! Wouldn’t we be cute?
I’d love to make some mittens! It’s COLD here!
I just started a Pinwheel Baby blanket tonight using the Magic Loop method and my KP Options. Oh, just when I thought I couldn’t love these needles anymore, they go and make me fall in love with them all over again.
I just love mittens!
This was a 60 degree F weekend, and I hope that does not mean more snow for us here in Northern VA.
Wow, those socks look awesome! My goal this year is to learn to knit socks and mittens. My friends keep telling me to just jump in, and I think I’m going to finally listen! Yay. lol
Lovely mittens, needed for this cold winter.
Hope to win.
I love those mittens and wonder what the yarn is like…..maybe to win, I will, eh?
Love the pattern and the mittens!!
I need new mittens–something ate a hole in my last pair–and those would be perfect. 🙂
Ooooh, i’ve never knitted with the chinky Rowan felted tweed, i bet it makes delicious mittens!
this post is inspiring me to make socks… for the first time. I’m terrified, but I think I’ll go for it.
Love mittens and always looking for a new pattern!
The socks look really cool, but really ambitious. Not sure if my limited (read: barely there) sock skillz (heeheehee) are up to the challenge!
Hoping to win! ALWAYS wanted to try Rowan Chunky!
I was just contemplating those mittens for some family up north, they’re fantastic! I’m sitting in a frigid 71 degrees in South Florida (/ducks.) Stay warm and safe everyone!!!!
pick me!
Hmmm… heading to the UK in March – could definitely use a new pair of mittens!
Yay! Mittens for my cold hands, plus two friends!
I keep doing fingerless mitts and I keep getting requests for actual mittens. This would be a great motivator to actually try it! 🙂
Mittens would be so much fun to make!
Those look like sheep for my hands!
Love those mittens!!!! Would live to win the kit!
Pick me I’d love to try mittens
Crossing my fingers for this one! My hands are just calling out for that yummy wool to be wrapped around them 🙂
Gotta love the beautiful yarn!!
With the remnants of another snowstorm blowing about outside, a dog to walk and wet mittens, I could really another pair (or 3).
I’ve never knit mittens before, so this would be fun!
It is snowy and I could use some mittens.
Thanks for a great opportunity to win a lovely kit!
One can never have enough pairs of mittens, and Rowan Felted Tweed is always a pleasure to knit with.
I would love to knit mittens for my granddaughter, my daughter and myself. Here in Michigan last week we had record amount of snow, week before record tying highs and now maybe record of 3 bad storms in about a week. Mittens are needed here badly.
I love to knit mittens, and wear mittens and to show off mittens that I knitted! O.K, I’d love to win a kit where I could make more mittens! Thanks!
Love those mittens!
Lovely mittens! I hope I win!
Rowan Felted Tweed, Oh My! Yes, please 🙂
Rowan Calmer is soooo lovely to work with. I made a shrug for my daughter in black and was very sorry it was such a small project. I could have knit with it forever!
I’ve never tried knitting mittens before—-these look like they’d be fun to make!
Great socks, all!
Oh, I hope I win cuz I love skill testing tests!! They get my adrenaline pumping. 😛
Mittens – I love to wear and knit them. Hope I win. Thanks for a chance!
I would love to make these mittens. They would go with 2010 Christmas Alpaca Earflap hats that were such a hit.
We could really use some chunky mittens to help shovel all our snow in Minnesota!
I will have to try the mittens! I promised to make some for a group of friends – better get on it! 🙂
I would be happy to knit those!
Love the socks but this time of year cozy mittens are even better (at least in Michigan)!
Ooo, pick me, pick me!! Beautiful mittens and wool!
I think I would rather have gotten the snow. All we got was a layer of ice and a teensy bit of snow. *sigh* The stupid weathermen were saying we were going to get upwards of 9″ of snow…obviously that didn’t happen.
Either way, I need (more) mittens.
I’ve been eyeing those mittens up! They would be perfect for my family of three.
My daffodils bloomed this week, so Spring may be in sight here. But I have 3 grown children in much colder Northern cities and know they can still use mittens for a couple more months! I do love knitting with Rowan Felted Tweed.
Oh,I would love to win this prize. I’m making a pair of mittens a month this year and will hold a small “Warm Hands for Warm Paws” fundraiser at our Maine Greyhound Placement Service quarterly meeting in Dec. This would help lots!
I would love to win this………..the mittens look gorgeous……I don’t actually get that much snow where I live lol guess i’m lucky but I think if I won this, I would send them back east to my family:)
They look lovely and since it is nearing autumn here in NZ, I might be able to knit them to wear this winter 🙂
I have a pair of socks and a pair of mittens I’m tryimng to finish up right now–hopefully before spring is here for real. Ah well, they’ll be warm and ready for next winter! Rowan yarn is the yummiest!
oooooo, please pick me!!! i need mitts!
I love to knit socks but now am going to have to wait before I knit myself any more of them cuz I had weight loss surgery in Oct and I’ve lost 70 lbs already and my socks don’t fit me any longer. 🙁
Wow! Great job on the weight loss.
We’ve been having a tough winter here in Indiana this year too and I would love to win the mitten kit!
Living in the land of snow and ice, I would love to knit those mittens!
Don’t need mittens, but I DO need some Felted Tweed! Really, I do!
Haven’t made mittens yet and haven’t had the opportunity to knit with Rowan Felted Tweed Chunky. This would kill two birds with one stone!!
I would love to knit these mittens! Pick me!
These mittens are to die for! Good luck to me!
Love Rowan & Knitty, especially when they get together!
Being Canadian and wearing mittens is mutually inclusive.
I’m so glad I made this giveaway! I was too late for the HiyaHiya needles but I would love to win this one instead. Thanks for the generous giveaway.
Would be thrilled to win Rowan yarn for the mittens. I love Knitty.
Mittens are a must for Iowa winters! Thank you so much for the great giveaways! 🙂
Yay mittens!
I love mittens! I knit them for my 3 year old niece, but she won’t wear them. Maybe a different yarn??
I would love to work with Rowan Felted Tweed…really would…
I love mittens!
I’ve been on a mitten kick lately! Thanks for the awesome giveaway!
ooh sounds like fun!
Nice! My whole family could use some mittens 🙂 Love the calmer vest!
I’m interested in trying 2-in-1 sock knitting. The mittens look cozy!
So it was in the 70s here yesterday, but we may be having snow by tomorrow. Is this global warming or cooling? Need mittens either way!
ooooh, mittens! count me in please!
Those would be my first mittens ever! sounds like an auspicious beginning!
I love those mittens! They would be perfect for First Day of Winter gifts for my family.
I’m another one who got the snowstorm after the warmth last week. Mittens are my friend!
I love mittens! They are my favorite thing to knit! And this looks like such a cute pattern 🙂
I’d love to make mittens!
Awesome yarn! Please enter me in the giveaway. 🙂
Meanwhile I’m working on an eyelet scarf.
i have never knit mittens so these would be my first pairs. They would go great in the Arizona snow!
We have snow – and baby lambs! Need mitts go to check on everyone. 🙂
I have an Entrelac scarf on one set of needles and socks on the other. Would beso happy to win!
Ooooh! I’d love to make some mittens!
As I type this comment I can hear frozen rain and ice hitting my window outside. 😛 Cold and more snow and ice – need those mittens here in MD!!
🙂 linda
I just yesterday took a second look at Shelburne, thinking they’d be great for this pre-spring moment… and how it would justify making myself a pair if I were ALSO to make 2 pairs for others. Great give-away!
It would be great to make my first pair of mittens with Rowan yarn — I love that stuff and Knitty too! Thanks!
Damn those wund chill values!!! Mittens are required! Please include me in the draw- thanks-
we are getting more snow as i type. i need mittens!!! thanks
mittens are pretty cool.
We still have an awful lot of winter left in NH. More mittens sure would be nice!
please please please need mittens in chicago wore out my last pair shoveling 22″ of snow!!
ooo always love yarn, not sure if I’d make the mitts though!
Somehow I have never made mittens — those look lovely!
Pick me pick me pick me!
I LOVE to knit mittens and would love to win this!!
Oh, mittens. I do need to make a family of mittens.
Mittens would be fantastic to go with all the scarves I’ve made.
Is ambition a skillset??
I’d love to learn that “war and peace” two sock at a time method!!! And the mitt kit would be the icing on the cake – especially now that out west we are suffering with – gasp! – more winter!! 🙂
What a lovely contest for lovely yarn. I LOVE KNITTY!
Comment!
I’ve been knitting 7 years, but have only knit one pair of mittens. I’d like to knit a few more pairs.
Just finishing off a pair of mittens, I could go for another!
I forgot to take my mittens to Knit night tonight and we had an unexpected snow/ice storm!! My hand were cold, so it looks like I could really use more mittens!
Fourth doctor (Tom Baker)! C’mon!
I love seeing what you guys are knitting. It is so wonderful to share with people who are far away. It really makes you feel closer. Thank you for the monday shring.
Yarn!
Christopher Eccleston is my personal favorite, followed closely by the fourth doctor. I keep promising myself that I’ll knit a dr who scarf one of these days. Those socks are awesome!! I must knit those too.. and well, if you happen to throw yarn my way, I have 2 little girls who’d love new mittens. 😉 Thanks for Knitty!! It’s the bestest!
Sweet contest! Love those mittens; hope I win! 😉
Once again, “Ooh, me, me, pick me!”
Yay! Another giveway!!
I love tweed!
I’m on the sleeves of a mohair slouchy sweater for my daughter in Philly. She’d love me to death if I sent her pair of those mittens!
I’ve made sweaters and socks and everything else, but not mittens. Pick me, please!!
Yay! I have knitted several mittens but never some for myself. These would be…and others! 🙂
Happy Family Day from Ontario! Count me in for the contest please 🙂
My town received 15″ of snow yesterday – I have been shoveling all day. Some new mittens would be wonderful.
Well it’s sweltering summer where I am, but I’m already turning my head to autumn and winter knits.
Sensible time of year for mittens.
Knitting my second pair of socks, hopefully I’ll COMPLETE, the set this time. :). Have to say, I LOVE the yarn I’m using (Malabrigo, Sock).
It’s snowing pretty hard here!
Can we hear more about that 2 socks on dpns method, please?
Mittens huh~ Never knit those before, only got as far as fingerless gloves. Granted, southern California is not too nippy, for the need of mittens. imo.
This would be perfect to knit my first pair of mittens.
I love me some mittens!!!
I’d love to make a pair of mittens that my dog didn’t chew up. The last ones I made on bamboo needles and it seems they were very tasty. She chewed the cuff of one also, so I had to tear out and learn to reverse knit to repair them.
you lovely ladies always have such fantastic giveaways. I am in a particular kind of mitten mood because of all the new snow…
What’s on my needles? A very warm angora white and black cable scarf for a friend for this very cold Ohio winter. Any of the prizes are nice but I never win anything. My daughter-in-love is knitting her first pair of socks for my oldest son.
Love seeing all the socks being knitted!! I’ve got 2 pairs going here in beautiful Charlotte NC. Would love some Rowan yarn to knit these mittens for my 3 boys!!
Ooh, lovely mittens, and I’d love to give that yarn a try! I’ve never used any Rowan yarn before.
I love that mitten pattern! (And I love the Doctor! I’m definitely going to knit a Doctor scarf this spring.)
That would be the perfect yarn to make some yummy mittens for the cold Toronto winter! yes please 🙂
Felted Tweed is the best yarn EVAR! I have made Honeycomb from it before; perhaps I should make mittens to go with it!
Whoo hoo! Mittens!!!
I’m knitting socks. I’m ALWAYS knitting socks!
Mittens are on my next to try list…
technically, its still summer where I am – can I wear my mittens to the beach? 🙂
I’ve only knittied one pair of mittens – for an infant, and would love to knit some for myself! Thanks for sharing your projects!
yeah, mittens are pretty neat.
Mm, yummy yarn!
looks like fun and we have been feeling cold lately… need yummy yarn 😉
Mittens! Count me in!
I’d love to knit these mittens!
OK, I live in AK, so we have long winters and really need mittens…
I´m knitting socks as well. They´re much used when we go birding
I made a pretty nifty cowl with the Time Traveler yarn. I have a wee bit left over, wish I had bought more before it sold out.
