Here is the mitten just off the machine. Feels like dozens of ends to be woven in. Both tops have to be kitchener stitched,and the seaming done,also. The stitches are very small,something to get used to.
Put the top live stitches on knitting needles to kitchener stitch and had to leave for work yesterday morning. Left on the table and came home to the knitting needles laying on the floor by the table. Sure enough,the mitten was laying in the dog bed! Amazingly enough the stitches hadn't ran down at all. Was able to pick them back up on the needles and finish the top.
Here are the finished mittens. Am thinking of gifting them to the person who I bought the knitting machine from. Next will be a purple and black pair for my youngest daughter. Have a nice color of coned yarn called Snowberry,a nice purple / pink shade. The black will be inside,with the Snowberry on the outside. Considering making up a couple pairs to have on hand for gifts or if somebody comes along that needs them.
