#mittens

0 posts0 participants0 posts today
Finished my fingerless mittens. I've tried to crochet in the style of Scandinavian 'hønsestrik' knitting. Very popular in the seventies. You're supposed to choose your own symbols and also your name and knit it in a repetitive way in colorful bands. They made al kind of clothing like this, even long vests and skirts. I'm very proud that I found a way to not knit, but crochet this.

I #swatch. It is religious, because I have knit too many things which came out way too big/small, and I do not have enough life to do it again.

My first project was a scarf, which was boring. The second was #mittens (5yo, so it was 6 mittens by the end of the winter, 4 rights and two lefts.)

Then I found Elizabeth Zimmerman in the library. And that taught me to knit *anything*.

Who needs patterns.

“Mate, your hands are very cold!”
“I like eating snow, Grandma.”
“I know, but where are your gloves?”
“They wet.”

The Boy needed new gloves. His favourite colour is green.
I’ve never made any before and am quite impressed with myself that both are the same size. Not only that, they fit him - dare I say, like a glove.

Mittens has a potentially game-breaking rule that catching a bird scores a team 700 points, which dwarfs the point value of every other aspect of the game.

The pin features a hand catching a bird.

The pin includes the abbreviation for the Foon Mittens League, “FML”, which coincidentally also stands for, “Fuck My Life.”
