Mitered Mittens
Pattern: Mitered Mittens from Knitter's Almanac (under May)Yarn: Galway Colornep
Modifications: I added a lining by picking up stitches fron the wrong side of my long tail cast-on, (An EZ tip, but I do not remember the source.) and knit the linings exactly like the outers. I used the same size needles but sport weight yarn, instead of the worsted I used for the outer.

I like how you did the thumbs straight instead of angled as in the pattern. I assume it means cutting across several rows of knitting - how did you manage that?

They're gorgeous! Great idea to line them.

actually, I just snipped the one rowas per the pattern. It angles slightly but not nearly as much as it does in the picture.

What a great tip about the linings - I'll definitely try it out. Lovely yarn, too!

What happens when the mitten is on your hand? I was all fired up to make these, but then Bluestocking said that the center line pulls way over when you put your thumb in, and I think that might bother me aesthetically. I've been trying to think of ways (shortrows?) to keep it in the middle.

Like Sarah of Blue Garter, I'd also like to know if it pulls to one side when you put it on, as Bluestocking has observed with her pair.

Unfortunately, these are ot for me and I cannot test out the center line pull. they were knit for a much larger hand. Although My husband did try them on. there was a pullof the center line in the palm of the hand, butthen they were tight on his hand. So, I'm afraid I'm not much help there.
