It is the Christmas season... so I have started creating things for my relatives. I've started with a pair of mittens for my husband. They aren't quite like ordinary mittens, they're a concept introduced to me by my mom: lobster mittens.
While I'm not a huge fan of them for myself, I either need all of my fingers in one place, or all separate. But my husband isn't quite that picky and likes the added flexibility of the separated index finger. The mitten does look pretty huge with my hand over it, but it is made for my husband!
I think these are turning out pretty great, and I love that I'm doing them in red. Since they technically are a prototype, I am making them in my standard way: They're done with moss stitch and have the ribbing surrounding the wrist. These are turning out a completely different style than what I would normally do, so the consistency makes them mine.

I am getting through them quite nicely, and I like that these are a reasonably fast pattern. I've perfected the techniques I use as well, which is making it much easier to minimize and eliminate any gaps between fingers or surrounding the thumb.
I absolutely love knitting in the round, and I am really excited to see how these and my upcoming projects will come in the next few weeks. I'm also very excited to get things going full steam ahead for Christmas and the holiday season.
I can't wait to see what else I come up with and with our lack of snow here, I may even get some other types of projects completed! Can't wait to see what the holidays will continue to bring through the pipeline!
