While the first mitten is finished....
I wasn't happy with the 'pointy' thumb.
I understand it is more the style f the Nordic mittens but the fit is not great on this one either.
I ripped it out by cutting the tip off and ripping back to the place before decreases.
And then I reworked the thumb to make it longer and rounder.
Stay tuned!
I did that when I knit some Selbus for my sister a few years back. I love the patterns but hate the pointy tops.
ReplyDeleteMy heart stopped at 'cut the tip'.
ReplyDeleteGood decision. You'll be happier with a rounded thumb. Last week, I used scissors on a knit as well - sometimes it's a he only solution.
ReplyDeleteNothing like a little knitting surgery!
ReplyDeleteI prefer a rounder thumb too. Can't wait to see it finished, love the braid at the cuff.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely stunning mitts,they are gorgeous.
