Market Mitts - Casablanca

I have been wanting to create a pair of quick mitts for Casablanca and was pleasantly surprised that I was able to get 2 pairs out of 1 skein - 1 woman's and 1 man's (or large woman's - as it fits me).  They knit up very quickly and are super cozy.  I had them end farther up on the fingers - where you could still use your fingers, but also stay warm.
I divided the skein approximately in half to try to get the mitts to match.  Also, I placed the marker before I got to the thumbs - one 3 stitches before the marker for the beginning of the round, the other 3 stitches after the beginning of the round.


Materials 
  • 1 skein Casablanca - shown in 07
  • US 8  - DPNS
  • Cable needle (or smaller DPN)
  • 3 stitch markers (2 in one color and 1 in another)
Abbreviations
  • K - Knit
  • P - Purl
  • SM - Slip Marker
  • PM - Place Marker
  • C8F - Slip 4 stitches onto a Cable Needle, Hold in Front, Knit Next 4 Stitches, Knit 4 Stitches from Cable Needle
  • C8B - Slip 4 stitches onto a Cable Needle, Hold in Back, Knit Next 4 Stitches, Knit 4 Stitches from Cable Needle
Wind the skein of Casablanca into 2 equal size balls - there are 8 colors in a colorway and it repeats approximately 2 times per skein.

    Have you had any comments on this pattern? I am having trouble following it. When I get to the thumb increases I end up having too many stitches total at the end of the row. What am I doing wrong? Thank you. Farrah

Honeycomb Cable Hat - Greenland

I got the brilliant idea this year to knit a number of people gifts.  I managed to finish 6 projects in the month of December and write out the patterns for most of them.  One of my favorites was this lovely cabled hat knit in Greenland .  Greenland is one of my favorite yarns - it has this amazing springy twists and has fabulous stitch definition.  Sadly, I seem to never get a chance to knit it. The finished hat shown is for an average adult - finished (unstretched) measurement is 7" wide and 8" long from the cast on edge.  I cast on 88 stitches.  It can easily be adapted to be smaller (cast on 80 stitches) or larger (cast on 96 stitches). Materials: (1), 1, (2) ball Greenland (100% Superwash Merino Wool - 137 yds/100 g) - shown in color 3549 US 7 - 16" circular needles US 9 - 16" circular needles Cable needle (or spare DPN) Stitch Marker Abbrevations K - Knit P - Purl cn - cable needle Sl - slip 4-st RC - Sl 2 sts to cn and hold to back
