My Mitten Collection

Happily my copy of Hafte Selbustrikk arrived yesterday and I'm already to the midpoint of the main motif in the hand of the gloves I picked out. (Herrevante alt. 5). The gloves have a rose-like motif and I could have sworn I've knit something like it before. First I thought it was the Rosebord mittens from Nordic Fiber Arts but that motif was very different. The Rosebord are the red mittens in the center.




I'm using red, pink, and white to emphasize the girlishness of the patterns used for the gloves. These gloves also have my favorite type of thumb where the thumb increases are all done on the back side of the glove. I'll talk a bit about thumbs tomorrow.
