I finished my 3rd (and probably final) pair of mittens for NaKniMitMo last week. I had originally planned on doing the Postwar Mittens from Twist Collective as my next pair but I was a little colorwork-ed out, you know?
So I went stash diving and found 3 skeins of Cascade 220 just hanging around. I bought those skeins ages ago with the intention of knitting something using all 3 colors but I never knew what it would be.
Enter the Furrow Mittens – another wonderful design by Kirsten at Through The Loops.
Beautiful and warm and functional. Fast to knit and entertaining, too. Everything a mitten should be.
Judy Said,
They are beautiful – love the colors
Kirsten Said,
They look great Carole! Such fun and colors!
Estella Said,
Love the cuffs! Nice stash busting too.
Manise Said,
Very nice. I queued these and bought the pattern over the weekend. They look like fun.

Very nice – great colors.
Kristine Said,
Lovely! I’m so inspired by these beautiful mittens, I just went and bought the pattern! Can’t wait to make these and Bella’s Mittens for myself!!
margene Said,
Fun colors! Kirsten’s mitten patterns are just the best!
gale (she shoots sheep shots) Said,
Love them! I’m dragging through a pair of very boring mittens. If I’d chosen a fun pattern like you did, I bet they’d be done by now.
Karen Said,
Lovely mittens. The colors are beautiful together.
LittleWit Said,
They look warm and very lovely.
Perfect for all this snow we have here.
Ann Said,
I like how the brighter red pops in the cuff. Nice work.
Bridget Said,
Oh I really like them. The stitch pattern on the cuffs really shows off the three colors.
Wool Winder Said,
Congratulations on your third pair. Love the cuff design!
Mary K. in Rockport Said,
Nice.
Marcia Said,
Great colors! Love the pattern. (By the way, did you know the next Piecework is going to be all about reenactments?)
Hillary Said,
Nice colors in these mittens. I really love the cuffs.
Carol Said,
Those colors are great together! The cuffs are just fab. I want to make these just for those cuffs.

I’ve been eyeing that same pattern at Twist. Every time I click through, I stop at the Post War mittens.
Beth Said,
Oh, aren’t those cute?! You really are inspirational!

Rather Hogwarts(ish). Very cute!

Great mittens and I love the color combo.

Gryffindor mittens! Love them!

Good lookin’ mittens! Love the cuffs.
HB Said,
Isn’t it great when you find the perfect yarn in your stash! Although that does re-enforce buying yarn that ” I just know I’ll use someday” !Lovely colors & pattern!
Robin in VA Said,
They are very beautiful!! Love the cuff stitch!
Jean Said,
Very cute, Carol!
Jean Said,
The colors us used in these mittens go very nicely together. You make everything looks so easy. I did post some photos of my previous weekend when we had record breaking temps. California winters can at times be as hot as our summers, but the sun is a little kinder. Think of the warm weather to come and perhaps take a look at the photos on my blog. I posted a couple of color filled flower photos.
diane Said,
Really like the cuffs
Kathy Said,
I love them! I haven’t knit any mittens — can you believe it — need to and maybe these — really cute!
Nell Said,
Very cute!
