Backyard Bamboo Mitts

It is quite hot here so this week I'm planning to spend some serious time in this chair in the shade knitting up a storm.


Here are the fingerless mitts with a sore thumb gusset - they are the first of 4 patterns I'm doing for a booklet of stranded patterns in eco-friendly yarns due at the end of July .




These are knit in Crystal Palace's Panda Cotton which is a bamboo/cotton/nylon blend. I used 1 skein of black and periwinkle for these. I think this yarn might be fun to use for socks as well.
