I started these babies on Monday ... and one is almost complete. (Just sans thumb!) YiPpEE!
I love doing fair isle and even though I was using my Norwegian thimble - my tension is tight. (I know you are screaming "gauge" ... I *do* hear you!)
While snug - it fits my hand ... thankfully - the boy is 10.
If I don't get this tension thing under control - I most likely will have to increase needle size when doing fair isle. Not the worse thing in the world - but it is a situation that I must address before attempting a FI sweater. Suffice to say - my next attempt will be swatched!
Guess I must practice more! O DARN!

Mitt looks FABULOUS Miss Kary! WTG!
Gorgeous Mitten! Lucky Nephew!
I have to know though, what are the men on the front of the pattern book doing? Are they directing a choir of Norwegian school children behind the camera? Or perhaps they are air traffic controllers and a plane is coming in? ;)I love the sweaters they are wearing.
Great mittens, as always, but the people on the cover of that mag look WAY too happy ;)
