I totally understand your pain--I made a pair of socks once and when I blocked them, they grew...and grew...and grew...basically, they would fit someone with a size 5 billion foot perfectly. (If you would like to borrow Stephanie's Knitting Rules, I know she has basic recipes for socks & hats in it, and possibly mittens, you totally can. Yes, I have all of her books. And one audiobook. I might be a little bit obsessed.) My first mittens were also too big. They fall off my hands if I wear them. I used <A HREF="http://www.freevintageknitting.com/mittens/615-mittens-pattern.html" REL="nofollow"> this</A> pattern for worsted weight yarn and I thought it was fairly easy to understand (aside from the whole gauge issue...whoops!). Okay, I'm going on too long, but I too covet the Folk Mittens book...I have Terri Shea's Selbuvotter, though I have not knit anything yet from it. In conclusion (I've been grading too many Expos essays...), I love mittens.The Bolterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13922639556193979137noreply@blogger.com
