Wedding Mitts

Wedding Mitts for Sarah





Detail of stitch pattern with beads.


Pattern:
Presto Mitts by Robbyn Kenyon

Cast on:
June 15. 2009
Bound off:
June 26, 2009

Size:
One size fits most

Yarn:
Alpaca with a Twist by Fino in Champagne (#0098) knit with 2 strands held together.

Needles:
Addi Turbo Circular size 2.

Comments:
A very satisfying knit. Fairly easy, but not too easy to be boring. The pattern is very well written. I used size 8 beads instead of 6's (or E beads) because they fit better and look more elegant. 6's are too big for fingering weight yarn.

I am so glad I got these done in time for the wedding.


~~~~~~~~~~

The bachelorette party went very very well. The food turned out great, lots of ladies showed up, and much fun was had by all despite the lack of a Chippendale hopping out of a cake. My daughters friends are such a blast to be with. I did not take pics. Too busy being the hostess. However, there were lots of cameras there. I'm hoping to get some from them.

Today: Rehearsal and rehearsal dinner. Not until this evening though. I intend to chill for the day. The weather is perfect! Couldn't ask for better.

Have a good day. I know I will.
