Bella’s Mittens

January 11, 2010 By Carole

I had a very nice and relaxing weekend. There was dinner out and some entertaining. There was football and knitting and movie watching. It was all very nice but it wasn’t anything that creates an interesting blog post. Luckily, I managed to take some photos of Hannah’s new Bella’s Mittens.

Hannah can be rather picky about handknits but she absolutely loves these mittens.

They are thick and warm and the Malabrigo Chunky is very soft. It wasn’t easy to knit this thick yarn at such a tight gauge – I had to practically stand on my head to twist those cables.

The color looks great with her new black North Face jacket and the long cuff makes them ideal for keeping her wrists warm, too.

Hannah says that they fit perfectly and wearing them feels like a hug for her hands.

    The vibrant Malabrigo worked out beautifully!! Hannah’s smile says it all. Poor Bella never smiled liked that (maybe her mites were acrylic!).

    That pattern and the yarn to knit them, has been in my stash FOREVER! Must…cast…on!

    Very pretty!!

    Beautiful mittens…and that is so “my ” color! My son, Chris, sent me a thank you note when he got his first pair of hand knit socks while away at college…and thanked me for sending him hugs for his feet…these kids really get it, don’t they?!

    I made my daughter mittens for her new black Northface too. She wanted thrums so ended up with teal/turquoise blue.

    They look great on Hannah – and go with her new jacket so well.

    Good work Mom!

    My goodness she’s cute. And the mittens are fab too!

    Lindsey is such a Twi-hard, I’m shocked that she hasn’t asked for a pair of Bella’s Mitts. She’s hinted very broadly about North Face jackets. Hannah looks great in the jacket and the mitts. Good for you pushing through with the cables. The result is really nice.

  19. Kathy says

    January 11, 2010 at 2:01 pm

    They look great on her! You are so right about those cables — killer to knit.

    It’s like a Snuggie for the hands but much more attractive!!

    Very pretty. I love the bright pink and the cables look gorgeous.

  24. Sara says

    Love the pink with the black coat…and Hannah did a wonderful job of modeling for us. She looks lovely!

  25. Carol says

    January 11, 2010 at 4:01 pm

    Gorgeous!!! I love that pink color. Hannah looks amazing in them!

  26. Mary K. in Rockport says

    January 11, 2010 at 4:33 pm

    And she will never, ever lose them in a snow bank because of their vibrant color! I love this pattern, too. It’s so nice when your daughters LIKE what you made them.

  27. Cookie says

    Awwwwwwwwwwwwwwww…

    Such a beautiful child and fabulous mittens! I am so proud of you for tackling cables head on.

    Love the color! Hannah looks very happy with nice warm mittens.

    I love these mittens, I’ve been drooling over them every time I see someone has finished a pair. Wish I lived some place where such warm delicious mittens would get used. Oh well, since I won’t be knitting a pair for a while I’ll live vicariously through all the people that do get to wear them. Beautiful, love the color!

  30. Nancy says

    January 11, 2010 at 8:22 pm

    I made my daughter a purple pair for Christmas and she loved them even though she is no Twilight fan. They are so nice and warm. I may even make myself a pair if I can make a decision on colour.

  31. Teyani says

    January 12, 2010 at 1:10 pm

    I like that – a hug for her hands!
    They are so pretty!!!

  32. Sarah says

    January 12, 2010 at 8:35 pm

    Awww…hand hugs! I have heard that knitting these to gauge is something of a task, and that the work is quite worth it.

  33. ~Kristie says

    January 13, 2010 at 1:45 pm

    They’re so pretty & I love how long they are! Why no photos of you standing on your head working the cables? LOL

  34. Leslie says

    January 13, 2010 at 5:39 pm

    What a gorgeous pink! I’ve looked at that pattern but did wonder about the chunky cables…

  35. HB says

    January 19, 2010 at 9:13 pm

    Love the color & the model looks so happy wearing them – Lucky Hannah!

I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 year I’ve been making sourdough bread for over 2 years now (I started before the pandemic, ironically enough) and this might just be one of my best loaves. The dough was sluggish yesterday and not ready to be proofed when I went to bed so I stuck the plastic bucket in the fridge and hoped for the best. Turns out the overnight bulk fermentation resulted in a beautiful, bouncy dough. I can’t wait to cut into it and check out the crumb but it’s still cooling down. #sourdoughbread #imadeitmyself #homemadeisbest #breadbaker
