FO: Thrummed mittens

[Olha]

Some of you have seen the first mitten so it's not much of a suprpise... However, since others are bragging about their second socks and whatnot , I proudly present The Second Mitten. Together with The First.

I am also kind of proud that it's made from local Nova Scotia wool. It's a gift for someone who was very happy to learn she was getting a pair.

Gorgeous mittens!

Oh, there goes that Olha again, showing off her handiwork! . . . . . . . . . . . . . I love it! You do such beautiful work, and it's always a pleasure to see it!!

And, yes, I imagine your friend IS thrilled to get a matching pair of mittens (of course, I'm working on the assumption that she's not one-handed)!

Great work!

Beautiful! I bet they are toasty warm!

[GrumpyGramma]

The same words seem inadequate but....they are beautiful!


I love seeing your FOs.

[Olha]

I bet they are toasty warm!

Oh, yeah. When I try them on indoors, I seem to start sweating

Beautiful, as ever and the fact that it's home-grown, Nova Scotia wool makes the pair even better.

See what I mean? "There she goes again!"

Nope, I am in luck, my daughter's preschool teacher does have both hands. And unlike kids, I didn't see her running around the playground when it's -10 C so I hope the warmth would be appreciated.

Actually, she guessed what I was making when I asked if her hands were cold. I told her I am making very warm mittens and looking for a recipient. And immediately she said 'You are not making thrummed mittens, are you?' This lady goes on my Christmas knitting list next year

[GrumpyGramma]

What does thrummed mean?
Does it refer to the lighter color that makes that lovely pattern? I think they're little hearts?

Very cute and looks exceedingly warm! I am sure your friend will love them
