FO: Convertible Mittens are done!

#1

I’m working on a variation of the Broad Street Mittens, the Pele by Berocco, and Knucks by Pamela Grossman.

Here’s the first mitten complete with embroidery (the other mitten will read FREE…CARE-FREE, for my friend DW who worries a lot). This took some time to figure out the three patterns, how I was going to modify each of them, and making a size much larger than my own hand without the benefit of DW trying them on as I went. I sure hope they fit and he likes them!

#2

Very cool! You did a great job, and I’m sure he’ll love them.

#3

Those are really nice, and what a thoughtful gift! I tend to be a worrier, too, and seeing those would definitely make me smile :slight_smile: Great job!

#4

I like the message you are adding. I hope he takes it to heart. :slight_smile: It looks like you are doing a great job on adjusting the pattern. Hope they fit.

#5

DW?

Those are great!

#6

Those are his initials (not to be confused with Darling Wife).

#7

Ohhhh okay! Usually it stands for Darling Wife, but you said “he” so I was completely confused. :wink:

DW - Darling Wife
DH - Darling Husband
DD- Darling daughter
DS- Darling son
DF - Darling Fiance(e)

(the first D sometimes can mean Dang, Damn, Dumb or whatever is appropriate at the time. LOL)

That is so cute. You have done a great job and & I am sure he will love them. :thumbsup:

#9

Mighty fine job. :thumbsup: Repeat mantra as necessary.

#11

Thank you, all! Here’s another picture of them done (well, almost; just need 5 more rows of ribbing–hooray!).

#12

There sure are a lot of talented people on this website.:cheering:

#14

You are very creative! Great work! My hat’s off to you!!!

#15

I love these :slight_smile:

#16

You put a lot of thought and work into these mittens. He will love them, they look great.

#17

Great job! I love how you took different parts of patterns and combined them to make your own!

#18

Thanks everyone! I rarely make a pattern [I]exactly[/I] the way it’s written, unless it has a technique that I’m unfamiliar with. I really like how they turned out as well, and I’ll be making more of them once I finish Silver’s “Two toe-up socks on one needle” tutorial.
