Yarny Stuff
I went to the Boston Knit-Out "festival" yesterday with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
vwbug, which had exhibit tables from most of the major yarn/knitting shops in the region, as well as a fashion show. I'm used to seeing pictures of finished sweaters, shawls, afghans and so on -- either online or in books and magazines, but the ability to touch and examine the real articles was overwhelming. I really was like a kid in a candy store, except it was a yarn store. :-)
So now I have about half a dozen different things I want to try, including these mittlets from a shop in Concord NH called The Elegant Ewe. I'm thinking I could adapt a regular mitten pattern, so that I could get the cross-palm gusset -- it looks like it would ease the pull of the thumb on the rest of the mitten pretty good.
