My First Official Knitting Attempts!
Here are the very first things I've knitted since teaching myself to knit last week. My daughter wants me to make another mitten to match the one I made since it fits her perfectly. The cuff seems a little small but hey it was my first try. The slipper is sooooo 70's! Stands to reason though since I used a pattern from an 1986 learn to knit book, who's patterns were obviously old even when the book was published.
I used Patons Classic Wool for the mitten, and Brigg's & Little wool for the slipper. I have serious doubts I'll be making a mate for the slipper, but it was good for experience. I learned to bind-off in this one.
