Lucy Neatby’s Paradoxical Mittens<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n

I always love it when a knitter takes a design and makes it his\/her own,  I posted a while ago about a friend of mine who knit Lucy Neatby’s Paradoxical Mittens and added a bit of the red trim to the thumb of the right-hand mitten so that you could always tell your right mitten from your left.  Here’s the link.<\/a><\/p>\n

These are, of course, organized people.  I’m lucky if I remember to go out with mitts and even luckier if they are matching. Now do I have to worry whether I have them on the right err correct hand or not?  Anyway, I loved the concept so much that I had to write about it.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Now another friend of mine, Julia, has taken a pattern by Le Tissier Designs and made it her own.  Julia took the basic pattern – Fretwork Fingerless Mitts and re-did the bead work in a pattern of her own design.  Julia still used Lynette’s basic mitt construction, which included a thumb gussett (I have to do it – I’m a gusset groupie) but added these awesome diamond beads in her own pattern and knit mitts to die for.<\/p>\n

I love Lynette’s design; but I also love Julia’s and I know that Lynette would love the fact that Julia made them her own!  Teacher’s are like that!<\/p>\n

Dinner?  I made African Peanut Chicken<\/a> from an earlier post and it was delicious. I left out the carrot; didn’t bother to marinate the chicken and substituted sour cream for coconut milk and it was still delicious!!<\/p>\n

Please send me examples of your personalized knitting from any pattern that we distribute and I will rave about it!!!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
