They are not entirely according to the pattern yet, as I made a mistake when placing the thumb. I picked up too many stitches for the thumb, with result that I ended with less stitches on top than the pattern described. But I figured out what I did wrong there, so the next pair will be better. Still I finished this pair as they fit my daughter's hands perfectly...So in this case... Finnish mitts with a Dutch thumb :-)
The pattern knits away fast - I put up stitches for the second pair yesterday as well. It sure is relaxing to do.
Het eerste paar Finse wanten is niet helemaal volgens patroon. Ik heb een foutje gemaakt bij het plaatsen van de duim, waardoor ik minder steken overhield voor de hand, dan in het patroon stond. Affijn... van je fouten kun je leren, Fins is per slot van rekening niet de makkelijkste taal om onder de knie te krijgen. Ik weet wat ik fout heb gedaan in het eerste paar - dus het tweede wordt zowiezo beter. Mijn dochter past ze precies... en daarom heb ik het paar afgebreid voor haar. Finse wanten met een Nederlandse duim! :-)
Erg leuk geworden en een mooie kleurcombi!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI like that pattern. Such an interesting texture!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenKnap hoor!!!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenNice gloves. The pattern looks fine. I love your profile picture.
BeantwoordenVerwijderenVery nice mittens! If they fit - there is no problem. Don't worry about the pattern! that isn't the point - the point is that they fit! You win!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenWow! Your mittens look great! The texture also makes them warm. The pattern is addictive, isn't it? Iso Gnu has made already at least 2 pairs, and so have I (can't show them in the blog, since they'll be presents).
BeantwoordenVerwijderenThe thumbs are fine, I'm sure, but I'll explain something about the pattern notes here:
You should knit 8 sts with different colour yarn. Then you knit those 8 sts with the yarn that you're making the round normally. When the mitten is finished, you'll undo these 8 sts with different colour, and pick 8 sts from down, 8 from up and 1 from each side. And then, continue like normally :)
If there's manu interested people, I could ask Tuulia if I can translate her pattern into English.
Hi! answer to your comment in my blog: I sent an e-mail to Tuulia asking about the translations. I'll inform you as soon as I hear something!
BeantwoordenVerwijderenI just received an answer from Tuulia. Can you send me an e-mail, so I could response you and tell about the details? My e-mail is: uhoava_gnu (AT) yahoo (DOT) com
