The base for these is a <a href=\"http:\/\/www.redcross.org\/museum\/pdfs\/knitting_gloves.pdf\">vintage Red Cross pattern<\/a> that I have gone back to a few times. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/bojnberry\/6269883774\/\" title=\"CIMG7730 by bojnberry, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm7.static.flickr.com\/6038\/6269883774_8562360ee1.jpg\" width=\"375\" height=\"500\" alt=\"CIMG7730\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>I was originally going to make regular mitts, but Trev asked for a pair exactly like mine. Now he can go around looking like a little urchin. If I was to make these mitts again, I would try to be more creative and meticulous about the cast off, but I think it is ok for now. I might make a pari of actual mitts for Owen.<\/p>\n<p>In the mean time I continue to work on the pink socks with some trepidation. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.flickr.com\/photos\/bojnberry\/6259341114\/\" title=\"CIMG7717 by bojnberry, on Flickr\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/farm7.static.flickr.com\/6219\/6259341114_d578aa3b02.jpg\" width=\"500\" height=\"375\" alt=\"CIMG7717\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>It seems that I have picked too large a size and they look gigantic. The problem was that the original pattern was for ankle socks and I wanted knee socks so the top part had to be made large enough to fit over my calf but I never made adjustments for the foot. I ended up ripping out the heel and redoing it, but the sock is still quite large. This is partially good because I wash wool socks in the washing machine so they are expected to shrink. I never know how the shrinking will turn out so there is nothing to do but hope for the best.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I have been knitting some more.
