I'm about 1/3 finished with one Broad Street mitten, and like every mitten pattern, it is too damned big. AND there are big mistakes in the pattern. Ugh.
Nothing more to say, this is purely a whining post. Thank you very much.
Posted by jess at March 23, 2005 4:28 PMI hear you! I've been looking for a mitten/glove pattern that will fit my small hands and haven't found one yet. Very frustrating, no? I've tried formulating a pattern on my own, but it's slow going.
Oh, and by the way, thanks for the info on the Knit Picks yarn. I ended up buying some of the hand-painted yarn from Uruguay that was reviewed in Knitters Review recently, because the KR article persuaded me of its softness. Wow! That yarn is super; it has my recommendation.
