Here is a photo of the Lucy Neatby Paradoxical Mittens in progress to the point where I ran out of the purple yarn. They are done in J&S jumper weight yarn and size 1 (US) dpns. Check out the completed mitten on the left side. One side of the top of the mitten slopes more deeply than the other just like your hand does - these mittens are anatomical. Pretty cool for a mitten freak like myself.



Yesterday Anne wrote in the comments for this blog that she has a one-armed friend who is seeking single mittens & gloves. She was wondering about the single Peruvian patterned glove I made. I was sizing it for a teenage girl and it is a bit tight for me so I'm not sure it would work for a guy. I do believe I have at least one single mitten in the crafts room somewhere that might work. Please read the comments from yesterday and contact Anne if any of you have any single mittens or gloves needing a good home.



Because I haven't been knitting at my usual speed lately starting next week this blog is going to host the Hall of Losers. The Hall will highlight various knitting projects that have been abandoned. I'll show each sorry, pathetic item and tell you why I quit working on it.



I'm almost done with the first turkey mitten. My row gauge is off with the Country Garden DK so these mittens will go to a guy I think. It is weird because the last two pairs of mittens I made from the A Year of Mittens brochure were too small (in Heilo and Classic Elite Tapestry).
