Mittens in progress

Colorwork mittens from handspun yarn

Here’s what I worked on this weekend, relaxing in an armchair at a friend’s house in Maine. (There was also some snow shoeing!) I spun the yarn from the BASD (Boston Area Spinners & Dyers) challenge fiber. The pattern is Strikeleik by Marianne Nesse on Ravelry. They are supposed to be knit in the round, but not having the right needles on hand, I adapted it to flat knitting. It’s a challenge to keep the tension even on the 2 yarns when knitting and purling.
