When I saw a picture of the Wintergreen Mitts on Instagram I just had to make a pair. But when I checked out the yarn they were knitted in, I realised they were going to be ridiculously pricey, so I decided I’d have to do without them.
However, a short while later, I remembered I had a few small balls of Dartmoor Yarn Company 4ply Shetland/Ryeland blend, left over from other projects.
I was incredibly over-excited at how well the colours went together in this mitt – of course, that is what I intended to achieve when I dyed the Shetland/Ryeland batch. But still, it’s exciting when you see it happen in your knitting.
I love these mitts and they’re a bargain knit if you’ve some left over blues and greens that will blend nicely.
Lovely!! And indeed an excellent pattern to have at hand when having leftovers! Xo Johanna

Thank you. It is indeed – I may well make it again at a later date.

They are beautiful. Colour work/fair isle/intarsia – whichever is the right word – is something I’ve managed to largely sidestep but I do love the results so maybe I should make it my knitting challenge of the year (after I’ve mastered crochet that is 😉 ).

Very pretty. I was thinking, it happens occasionally. Your sheep pattern could easily be turned into a hedgehog! Just an idea. Meantime mine has been officially named Selina Sheep on account of her rather sublime expression.

Ah ha! We’ve had the same thought 🙂 I designed a mouse before Christmas and I just think I need to take the legs off the sheep and give it the mouses head and I’ll be there 🙂 Time, as always, though is never there to do it. Thanks for the encouragement. I will get there.
Hurrah! I voted for Selina – as you know. Right behind with reading post though, but will get there and congratulate her on her decision in a bit.
