Not loving the mittens
I finished the first mitten from Knit Simple and did not like it at all. I had huge gaping holes at the thumb, which also ended up too short and the overall mitten was too thin feeling. So I pulled out another mitten pattern, Super Mittens from Weekend Knitting. I got very close to gauge with Patons Chunky Tweed. I made the first mitten for the largest size, except I'm once again stuck on the thumb. I've attempted it twice but still with holes. The responses from the knitlist have either said to pick up a couple more stitches than called for (though I can't logically decide which stitches those should be) or sew the holes after the fact with the yarn tail. I don't know. I'm hoping to take it to my LYS for advice.

Where's your other blog? You should hyperlink to it in the left column, maybe....
Thanks for stopping by my place!
Oh, and I'm working on a mitten-in-the-round pattern that you can get at www.needlenook.on.ca
The only problem is that I need to cast on 3 stitches in the middle of a row (after I set aside the thumb stitches) and I don't know how to do that!
