How disappointing for Berit to have created these beautiful mittens and then not have the marriage take place. It makes me wonder what Sigrid’s bridegroom mittens looked like!
II’ve been through the lesson several times and finally charted out what my understanding of what you were saying in terms of setting everything up to be able to knit the thumb but I’m getting a 4 and 6 set of extra stitches to add in along the sides between the front and back of the mittens instead of 3 and 7. I’m wondering where my error in setting it up is.
Here’s a photo of my chart. The purple blocks are the stitches of either the last row of the thumb…
I really enjoyed this lesson. I am getting all kinds of ideas for the wedding mittens I want to knit. I had the same wonder about the use of red given weddings are typically celebratory. I look forward to the next lesson!
Wow - Patricia - that was a great lesson! So much all coming together in my head now. It is wonderful that weddings helped push the design boundaries and resulted in those beautiful examples we so admire today. Could you maybe comment on a couple of things next lesson, please... interested to know whether this finely spun wool was a single or plied yarn. Also, were there any specific traditions around the use of red or white as the background colour (other than the celebration aspect)?
Cheers and thanks,
Mary.
