Yeah! For thrifty blocking solutions

I think they’re definitely close enough! I’ve had some paired objects that have been significantly different! I’m sure your friend will love them!

Hey I missed this post for some reason! How pretty - the last few versions I saw of these mittens were in earth colours and these are very different and bright.

I love the mix of muted beige with bright turquoise. Gorgeous! I also used the cardboard method to block my mittens. It works great I must say

THe mittens are quite charming! The difference in size is totally unnoticeable.

I’m interested in the Kniari sweater, since I’ve been thinking about white cardigan(s) too. I remember your dad’s glass buttons from Christmas and am also interested in how they’ll be featured.

The mittens are beautiful, and your Tokyo top is just gorgeous! I love it!

You finished them!

They look great. My first 2 pair were with fingering weight on 4’s. I’ve some thicker yarn to make a friend some and am dreading it.

I dunked the first two pair, rolled them in a towel, then put my hand in them to ‘adjust’. My hand slipped out easily and they dried like a dream.
