Hoot

Did you know that Tadpole can say "hoot"? Actually, it's more like "hooowa." And, come to think of it, she may actually be saying "owl." Either way, when my favorite toddler needs new mittens, it seems only fitting that it should be this pattern:



That's Horatio and Oren by Barbara Gregory in the Fall 2012 Twist Collective (pattern also available on Rav). I have mixed feelings about this pattern (more on that later) but there's no denying that the finished product is adorable.

Wait, did I say mittens? As in mittens, plural? You mean Tadpole has two hands? Please excuse me, I have some work to do . . .

Hey Rue!! Looks like you came back to blogworld about the same time as me! These mitts (well, mitt) are perfect! Now get knitting that second one! I hope everything is well in your world.

Love the mittens - I too finished a mitten and kind of wished that was all I needed to do. I think I'm going to start making 2 at the same time - do the cuff of one, then the other, up to thumb of one then the other. I have a friend (Major Knitter) who uses this technique with socks and it avoids second sock syndrome...I definitely have second mitten syndrome.

Ack! Yes, I saw this pattern, and have been considering it. I'm interested to hear your thoughts! I'm sorry we missed each other when you were here. I hope there's another opportunity sometime soon!
