Yes, another pair of colorwork mittens. My fascination continues.....
My apologies to those that may have seen these on Ravelry. It's a free pattern (thru September) on Ravelry called
Marley's Garden. They are knit with hanspun, the colored yarn being spun from this fiber:
The background is an undyed Varigated BFL fiber - strands of darker and lighter fiber mixed into the roving. I think it gives the finished item an old, antique look about it.
I knit these with the same background yarns, but I don't think I've ever posted a photo here. These were knit during my blogging hiatus.
Sorry - forgot the stats: This pattern was taken from The Mitten Book, the "Pole Pattern" is the name of the pattern. I did modify it for my gauge.
Anyway - perhaps that will be the last of the mittens for awhile..... we'll see....
I am baking our first "winter" squash today. Hopefully it's ready to be picked. The vines have died back, but if I remember right, my dad always said to wait till right before the first frost. We'll see. I think I will experiment with fresh tomato soup later in the week. It's going to be cool this week, and perhaps a fresh garden soup will be just the ticket! Ahh.....fall is indeed on the way.

That braided caston is so pretty; how hard was it? What pattern did you use for the second pair of mittens. I really like them!
BTW, fresh tomato soup sounds yummy!
Your mittens are a great inspiration to me. Love the new pair!
Yeah, I love Fall, and the slight change of what we cook for Fall/Winter. I love one pot stews ...
Beautiful mittens. Maybe some day I'll bite the bullet and do a pair - yours are always so lovely. I'm sure fall is on its way, but we're having the warmest weather of the summer up here. I still doubt my tomatoes will ripen, so it will be fried green tomatoes for us!
Oh I love the beauty of your mittens...someday I'll pick up the challenge.
Love the mittens and hope to be able to knit a pair one of these fine days but until then, I'll have to ooh and aah over yours.
I can't believe how big BG has become and so quickly...doesn't the time fly with the little ones? Also, please give a few extra pets to Sofeesu for me and tell her I hope allegy season ends very very soon.
