This week's Ten On Tuesday is, 10 Mittens/Mitts I Want To Knit.
It's been pretty chilly up here, especially on my earlier morning walk/runs, so new mittens are definitely on my mind. See those mittens above? Those were my MOST favorite mittens ever. Polwarth that I had carded, spun, dyed and then over dyed with a cheery red color. Then I added some angora trim from one of my favorite bunnies, so when I lost them last year I was crushed. Luckily I have 2 skeins of that same nasty blue (dye fail) polwarth that I can overdye again and recreate these mittens, so I will start off with that pattern.
1. Claudia's Mittens ~ free directions and very comfy
2. Eliza Mitts ~ My granddaughter loves the pair that lives in my studio, so she will be getting a pair for Christmas in her favorite vibrant shade of green.
3. Post War Mittens ~ Color work scares the bejesus out of me. I bought this pattern when it came out and still have not attempted it, but I am going to this year!
4. Pole Pattern ~ and staying with the color theme, I have the yarn all spun up to knit a pair just like Pat's.
5. Shallow Mitts ~ to go with the Shallow cowl I am going to make. I love Bonnie's patterns! I may even have to buy the recommended yarn which is crazy for a Woolen Rabbit who has more yarn than she knows what to do with.
6. Let It Snow ~ and I have the perfect yarn to use!
7. Merike's Gloves ~ I made a pair here a few years ago for my daughter, but I love them enough to suffer thru doing fingers again. 🙂
8. Susie's Reading Mitts ~ I have loved these forever, I just need to knit some!
9. Clepsydra Mittens ~ I LOVE Kirsten's patterns!
10. Fiddlehead Mittens ~ I think that these should move up to 2nd because I love then so.
I love all of these mittens, but I will be lucky if I get more than McKayla's finished as I am busy making the yarn….kind of like the cobbler's kid's shoes. 🙂
What is your favorite mitten pattern?
The Woolen Rabbit 
I love the Eliza ones too, have yet to knit a pair. I really love my selbu mitts I made a few years ago, and my wussypillows, and my chunky knit bella mittens!

I think the link from Carole’s page to this one is broken; I had to retype the address to make the connection.
I love all of your mitten choices!

I bought the Postwar Pattern ages ago and still haven’t knit them – they intimidate the hell out of me. We should do it together!

Love your lost mittens. It’s heartbreaking to lose our hand knits, especially when they are special in some way.

Kim,
Ever since you featured Biscuit, it’s been in my Ravelry faves. After taking a look at the Shallow mitts, I ended up getting the Shallow set and Biscuit. Thanks for the great list and a little enabling. :o)
PS Butterscotch arrived and it’s yummy!

Thanks for the Shallows Mitts mention, Kim! Why not make a pair in one of your own yarns?
