Knitting Letters

I really enjoy knitting letters; I occasionally dream of doing a sweater with an entire poem or book excerpt.

Besides the Christmas Bells mittens I'm working on, I've done a couple other knitting projects with letters. The Bewitching Gloves are my own design - the cuffs include the witches' chorus from Shakespeare's Macbeth. They're also knit in Palette.

The Poetry Mittens pattern was originally published in Piecework Magazine in 1995. These  photos are from before I had a camera - instead I  used to shove everything in a scanner for blog photos.

I noticed a few errors in the red, white and green Christmas mitten from my last blog post. I'll get close-up photos to show you how I deal with mistakes in colorwork.
