Reading Mitts

January 7, 2010 By Carole

I still have a FO or two from ’09 to show you but instead today I’m showing off my first FO of 10. They are the pair of Susie’s Reading Mitts that were supposed to be a Christmas present, but I definitely blew the deadline. It’s okay, though, because I haven’t seen the recipient yet so she will be none the wiser. Heh.

If you are looking for a very simple and very quick fingerless mitt pattern this is THE one. The lace cuff is pretty and easy to do and the picot edge makes a beautiful feminine accent to the design.

The yarn is Karabella Boise and it’s quite yummy. The cashmere gives the mitts a nice fuzz and they are so soft! I knit the small size and they are definitely narrow but they fit Hannah perfectly (I had to practically pry them off and I may have even promised to make her a pair) so I know they will fit the recipient who also has small hands.

I might even have to make a pair of these for myself.

    Those look really lovely. As you say simple, but very elegant looking. Thanks for sharing.

    Beautiful! They must be so soft out of Boise. I used that yarn a few years ago for a scarf. It really is yummy.

    Lovely mitts! Cashmere, too!

  5. Nora says

    Oh, those are beautiful! Must. Have.

    I’ve looked at that pattern over and over. Love the way it looks and the yarn you used looks very warm and soft. yum

  7. Kim says

    January 7, 2010 at 7:39 am

    Very pretty! I have wanted to make a pair or two of those myself. Your yarn looks scrumptious!

  8. Kathy says

    January 7, 2010 at 7:40 am

    Yum. I have small hands . . .

  9. Wool Winder says

    Another great pair of mitts!

  10. Carol says

    January 7, 2010 at 8:06 am

    Love that pattern and yours are very pretty! I’m sure the recipient will love them.

    Karabella. I love anything Karabella! And that yummy chocolate yarn? Color and yarn choice paired with the right pattern. I often struggle over that. What a special gift.

    Nice! I’ve been looking at that on Ravelry & admiring them. These have a nice girly look, sometimes in the winter I feel like I’m wearing boy clothes ALL the time. Know what I mean?

  13. Robby says

    January 7, 2010 at 8:59 am

    Those look lovely, and cozy. Although you’d need to layer another pair or TWO of mittens on top with our weather today. Brrrr!

  14. Jo-Ann says

    January 7, 2010 at 9:13 am

    Very pretty 🙂 Love the chocolately color of the yarn, and they look really really soft. Good job (again) Carole!

  15. Beth says

    January 7, 2010 at 9:28 am

    They are beautiful and I love the color!

    That’s funny that you “may have even promised” to knit Hannah a pair. Emma is on quite a mitt kick these, too. Mine are missing whenever I turn around. 🙂

  16. kathy says

    January 7, 2010 at 10:01 am

    I just finished a pair of them, they are so simple to make , I love mine. I even made a cowl to match.

  17. Vicki says

    January 7, 2010 at 10:10 am

    Oooooh, those are really pretty!

  18. kmkat says

    January 7, 2010 at 12:34 pm

    I’m not big on feminine touches, but I love those mitts. So much that I favorite-d them in Ravelry and downloaded the pattern. Thanks!

  19. Sylvia says

    January 7, 2010 at 12:51 pm

    Those look comfy *and* pretty! Love the photos, too.

  20. Hillary says

    January 7, 2010 at 12:55 pm

    Your mitts look great … and a little familiar. I do think they are very different in a solid color. I’m sure the recipient will love them.

  21. Stephanie says

    January 7, 2010 at 1:22 pm

    Those are adorable! I’m putting them in my queue.

  22. Doris says

    January 7, 2010 at 2:57 pm

    Those are really cute. That yarn looks so soft. I am sure the recipient will enjoy them.

  23. sandy says

    Wonderful! It seems like it was the Christmas of the mitts for you! Great choices! (and I love the snow in the photos!)

  24. Cookie says

    January 7, 2010 at 4:21 pm

    Those are lovely! That longer cuff makes them so wearable for this time of year.

  25. Sara says

    January 7, 2010 at 5:06 pm

    Those are very pretty. And, they look so soft.

  26. Leslie says

    January 7, 2010 at 5:31 pm

    Mmm, cashmere! Very pretty. You definitely need a pair for yourself.

  27. Lisa says

    January 7, 2010 at 6:08 pm

    These are in my queue! I can’t wait to start them. That yarn you used looks scrumptious!

    Those are some stunning mitts! And the blue ones as well.

  30. Jean says

    January 7, 2010 at 10:31 pm

    How luxurious, the color is also rich and will look great with quite a few colors. Who would not love to wear cashmere?

  31. Laurie says

    January 8, 2010 at 7:02 am

    I saw the Boise, and my heart stopped. What a GREAT idea. Those are soft, warm, squooshy.

  32. Teyani says

    January 8, 2010 at 12:36 pm

    pretty pretty!
    And I will gladly trade our rain for your snow..

  33. ~Kristie says

    January 8, 2010 at 2:59 pm

    Such a beautiful gift! You definitely should make a pair for yourself. I love mine.

  34. HB says

    January 8, 2010 at 8:28 pm

    Love the mitts! I made a pair of beaded mitts for my close friend in Florida and as cold as it has been she has actually been able to wear them! It will be fun to try this pattern – is it posted somewhere?

  35. Mary Lee says

    January 9, 2010 at 10:32 am

    I love that color, love those mitts! I already had the pattern saved, but now that I’ve seen yours, I’m even more anxious to try it. Thanks for the encouraging words “very simple and very quick.” I’ve never tried fingerless mitts–or ANY mittens–but these are so pretty!

  36. Lifesastitch says

    January 10, 2010 at 12:05 pm

    Queuing them up right now. I’ve never knit mitts before and this will be the pattern.

If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good If there’s one thing the pandemic has been good for, it’s my sourdough game. I actually started learning about making sourdough bread a week before the stay at home orders thanks to @sprboston as he shared his starter and recipe and technique with me. Since then I have kept Mama Cass fed and alive and have baked many loaves of bread. This one might be my best one yet. I did the final proof in the fridge for 24 hours and baked it from its cold state. Great spring and ear and crumb, it was delicious with dinner tonight. #sourdough #sourdoughbread #lookatthatcrumb #lookatthatear #homebakedbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest
