Latvian Mitten


This is the latest "knitting lesson" that I have taken. I have had 2 classes on this mitten, and colorwork is very addicting. You always want to see what the next color will do, how it will change the look of your work. I wasn't feeling the olive green in my mitten when I did the fringe and braid. I didn't think that it stood out against the black. However, as I continued up the mitten, I really found that I liked the green and black combo. The purple really pops against it! I have now added the white, and I am happy with it (thank god. I didn't want to rip all that fringe). So, I am slowly progressing. I have put it down for a few days in favor of big, chunky soft alpaca yarn.
