A while ago I knit up The Flame some fingerless mittens out of some long discontinued, and much treasured, Classic Elite Maya yarn. Those Mitts pattern from A Friend to Knit With. Sorry for all the hyper linkage but for some reason the link on her sidebar, as well as the one or Ravelry, is not working for me so I direct you to her post that describes them instead of the PDF. Anyways The Flame wore his mitts daily, summer and winter, for a year and half or so until his boss’ boss noticed them and stated they were against dress code. Stinky boss. The Flame then brought them home to be washed and last weekend went hunting for them since his hands were cold. They were not to be found anywhere 🙁
Another pair of Those Mitts then. This time in some Rowan 4-ply botany held doubled and, I really hesitate to say this since he reads my blog, maybe a second ball of Dale yarns Baby Ull. I say maybe because only one ball had a tag tucked into it {the botany} and I couldn’t tell any difference between feel or color however one seems a wee bit smaller and thinner than the other. Either way he now has 4 black mitts and unless some hussy is grabbing at his hands nobody will notice the difference. At least he will have 4 when I manage to locate the other two.
Interesting idea crossed my path while looking for the pattern was found amongst the toast comments~ of losing one and knitting another right quick. Mismatched toasts and mitts sound like fun. The Flame, being more conservative than I, just wanted black so the mismatched will be due to yarn texture not color. Black Mitts:
