I wore the mitte...I love the mittens and the cowl. I wore the mittens this morning as I cleared the snow and ice from my windshield, and for the first time doing this, my finger tips were warm and toasty. I didn't wear the cowl because it is really warm and the wind wasn't kicking up. This is a wonderful pattern for the mittens -- they fit so well on my long fingers and wide palms, leaving me some great flexibility.<br /><br />As to the knitting with DPNs and circular needles, I understand your frustration. All I can say is that treat the circs like you would two independent needles -- once you transfer the stitches from the left needle to the right, turn the project and switch needles and hands. As to the DPNs, work them as pairs -- one in your right hand, one with stitches in your left, and two or three standing in line waiting their turn to be worked. Kind of like the debutante with several suitors standing in a queue.Vic-Jo-Robhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10963784006204062210noreply@blogger.com
