I finally finished my Bella Mitts! I am super pleased with how they turned out. After knitting three mitts, tearing back part of one and now casting on the fourth, I got my stripes to somewhat line up and the colors to basically coordinate.
Happy Happy Joy Joy
Now for the Nerd Wars submission, we need to write up how our projects tie into the theme. This is what I wrote:
Rav Handle - wonderwhygal
Team Bite Me
Knitting
Project: Bella Mitts - reVAMPED!
Winter is coming and although Vampires don’t need to keep warm, we tend to find teenage girls up in Alaska that are totally obsessed with us. They have serious sulking issues when we leave them and have spread awful rumors that we sparkle in the sun. WE DON’T! So ignore any nonsense you see in the movies about sparkling vampires, it just isn’t true. Anyways, Winter is here! So…I created these sassy fingerless mitts using the Bella’s Mitts pattern. I also didn’t want a solid color yarn so…I used some of my handspun of Farkland wool dyed by Kelly of Felting Sunshine to knit with. This mitts are worthy of any amazing Vampire, that doesn’t sparkle, who wants to have a cool look while keeping the fingers free.
Off to finish the fourth mitt so I can somehow tie the second pair into another challenge.
If you haven't guessed already, I'm having a lot of fun with Nerd Wars..and really am not a fan of the Twilight movies.
