It's time to bring out fingerless mitts. I'm usually not cold. Only my fingers when I'm working at the computer have a tendency to need a bit of extra warmth.

These mitts are probably the finest thing I've ever knit - 2.0 mm needles and a gauge of 40 sets / 10 cm in stockinette. The yarn is a merino silk blend that runs 1.340 m / 100 g

Same hand, this time turned up so the palm is visible. It's in stockinette stitch.

A hand clad with a fingerless mitt, backside of the hand is visible.

The mitt is made from green brown, very fine yarn. The yarn produces rather wide stripes with no discernible repetitive pattern in several shades of olive, moss and dark green and some brown.

The texture of the fabric is lacy, lengthwise stripes. — A hand clad with a fingerless mitt, backside of the hand is visible. The mitt is made from green brown, very fine yarn.

I'm wearing my knit vest out for the first time today! 🥳

It'll be too hot by afternoon to have it on all day, but I can at least enjoy the morning. 😎

Not a fan of how the shoulders look, I think the blocking caused them to stick out like that. :(

A view of the shoulder of the knitted vest. It's poking out at an angle, away from the arm.

Finished ... And worn.

It's been done for a while but it was always too warm to actually wear it so: no pictures so far. But yesterday it was finally ok.

My colleague said, if it were in black to grey it would be an Ozzy Osbourne memorial coat after seeing me spinning around to show it off. She might be on to something ...

This time she is spinning to show the flare of the garment.

Same woman wearing the same coat, this time picture from the backside.

A woman wearing a hand knit cardigan / coat. The garment is almost knee length and flaring out towards to bottom, the sleeves are close fitting.

It has a color gradient, starting in dark dusty rose at the sleeves and going to very pale rose towards center and bottom.

The woman is standing in front of a large bush, arms spread wide to show off the coat. The weather is sunny with blue sky. Her face is blurred with a pink color splash. — A woman wearing a hand knit cardigan / coat. The garment is almost knee length and flaring out towards to bottom, the sleeves are close fitting.

#ThrowbackThursday

Maybe I should knit another one? This is a skirt I've made for my daughter around 10 years ago. It's a variation of the famous Lanesplitter Pattern, but with short rows so it flares a bit around the bottom

And I started along one of the diagonal lines so there's no visible seam

It has moved on to another girl many years ago and I don't know what happened to it after that. But I still think it's nice

A handknit skirt with diagonal lines / ridges. The ridges are in a gradient of light to dark grey, while the valleys in between are a gradient from yellow to turqois to purple.

Towards the bottom the valleys flare out.

The skirt lays flat on a surface of concrete tiles. — A handknit skirt with diagonal lines / ridges.
