Genmaicha
I realized the other day that I never gave the Genmaicha mitts their proper blog post. Sure, I showed you the finished mitts at Rhinebeck, but I think they deserve their very own glorious post.
And here they are, modeled by the lovely Hannah.
The yarn is Piece of Vermont Superwash Wool/Nylon sock yarn. I think the color is fabulous – so rich and a beautiful shade of deep blue.
The pattern was very fun and quick and I know I’ll be wearing these a lot this season. Once I get them away from Hannah.
Don’t they go great with my new mug from Starbucks? Damn, now I’m going to have to get that away from her, too.

They are so pretty and look very “wearable”! Great mug too.
Great mitts (and mug)!
Gorgeous! I really need to go back to blue. I’ve been away from it for too long.
Very pretty mitts! Will have to stalk my Starbucks for the mug. Never found one on-line.
Knitting mugs at Starbucks? That is a slice of heaven for me. Love the mitts! Very pretty!!
Love those mitts in that yarn.(are you on a blue kick?)
Lovely!
I love that blue!
Oh, that grabby, grabby girl! She needs her own mitts 🙂
I’m going to have to show this pic to our local starbucks manager! The mitts turned out wonderful. I need to raid my sock yarn stash…
I’m going to have to stalk my local Starbucks shops till I find one of those mugs.
Love the mitts, too!
You could always make a second pair for Hannah!
They look great! Love the blue.
Hey – you stole Margene’s mug! Good lug getting your stuff back. I actually ca’t wait for “someone” to take an interest in my handknit things….
Nice! The color is stunning!!
That pattern is on my (somewhat/not so much) short list to make for this winter.
The mug shows off the lovely mitts to perfection!
Beautiful, both the mitts and the mug.
Great mitts! I saw that mug somewhere else. I gotta hit a Starbucks. They probably have so many knitting groups meet in their cafes across America they finally realized they could make a mint off of a knitterly coffee cup. lol.
Love the mitts & the mug, and you’re fortunate to have a model so readily available! Both of our girls now live on the other side of the state. I emailed a link to Margene’s photo of the mug to the girls as a Christmas hint – one emailed me that it’s also available in robins egg blue 🙂
ok, enough is enough. hannah just as to start knitting. i mean seriously. that way she can make her own instead of stealing yours. sheesh.
Ooh. Those are beautiful!
Very pretty! My Hannah wants some mitts….maybe I will make her a pair of these 🙂
The mitts and mug both look great. I had to do a double take, I thought perhaps you had knit a mug cozy. 🙂
OMG I *need* that mug!
Love the mitts! They’re much prettier than the ones I made (with ‘the cheater’) ;op
Ooh, those are great mitts! And yes, perfect with Hannah’s (um, your) mug.
OMG, I need that mug! (Also the mitts, but they’re easy to get.)
The mits and the mug are both adorable!!
Lovely mitts, lovely mug! There’s something ‘specially delightful about mitts named for green tea posing with a coffee mug.
Very pretty! I really like her patterns.
Those mitts look great. I have a plan to make a little hand-wear for me this year too but I’m going to make some fotr lindsey forst so she’s not tempted to swipe mine.
The color is gorgeous and so are the mitts! You and Margene are making me want one of those mugs.
They really are lovely. And Hannah is a great model (even if she does want your stuff)! :o)
Ditto (great handwarmers), ditto (nice mug), and ditto (putting daughters on notice that I want that mug for Christmukkah.)
I love the mitts. The color is just gorgeous. I just hit a local Starbucks yesterday and got the very last one of those mugs that they had! It’s going into my Christmas stocking…I have taken to getting a few stocking stuffers for myself, as the one year my family forgot and my husband and sons may even have felt worse than I did when they realized thatI had the only completely empty stocking, since I take care of the others. So for the last two years I have the absolutely best stocking as nobody ever wants that to happen again ;D !
Very pretty! I’ve been admiring that pattern for awhile. Now it’s time to cast on!
Love the mitts. Good luck getting them and the mug back from Miss Hannah.
Knitting mugs? Great. I wish there where something like that here in germany.
And the mitts are perfect.
Greetings from Germany

Now that mug would be filled with glorious hot chocolate! That’s what I’ve been drinking a lot of lately!
Love the mitts…they do look cute on Hannah – but, they’ll look great on you!
Beautiful! I LOVE the color. I love all things blue, but that is a particularly great color.
They do match the mug perfectly.
(P.S. Curse you – now I actually have to go to Starbucks.)
LOVE them! I also chose a superwash for that fun pattern. Mind if I copycat? Gotta have me a mug like yours!
Love the mitts! Starbucks?? Guess I’d better make a trip tomorrow.
Nice mug.
All my knitting seems to go to my daughter…since I really got into it I think I’ve made one scarf for myself…and two pairs of socks for my husband and everything is for Hayley…but she loves it all so.
Lovely mitts, and great mug too! A nice size for a big of something warm. Maybe it’s getting to that time when you’ll have to make/buy 2 of everything? One for you and one for Hannah 🙂
I’ve been looking at a wool coat from Land’s End, and this mitt is in the spirit of it’s pea coat ancestry. Very nicely done – you’ve inspired me!
Lovely, Carole! Each time I see those mitts and that mug, I become more tempted.
love those mitts – and I have been thinking about making them for my daughter boyfriend 😉
heh heh – good luck getting them back from Hannah!
I had to run out yesterday to get that mug too. I sent one to a swap partner and couldn’t stop thinking about it. HA!
Those mitts look super warm and smooshy. And I love the color.
Love the mitts plus matching mug Carole!
Exceptionally lovely mitts, I really like the detail. It’s really kinda nice that you have to try to get your knitting back from Hannah, your daughter appreciates what you create. Homemade things have a wonderful feeling of warmth, comforting the person wearing them. I am frequently giving my knitted things away and my Niece in college is especially appreciative as I am sure the recepients of your knitting are.
I am no stranger to my daughter confiscating my projects. It’s a compliment, right? And, as my daughter says, “You can just whip up more.”
Whip up, lady.
