When I knitted Pepita using Magic Loop Method I really got hooked on this method of knitting. I like the fact that there are no seams that are usually found when knitting with double pointed needles. So I found myself another pattern on ravelry that is knit with magic loop. I wanted to knit my daughter some mittens with the red supreme possum merino that I purchased at the creative festival in Toronto. But I only purchased one skein thinking that I would knit Michelle the gloves that I knit for my secret sister. When I had the gloves knit I realized they wouldn't be something that she would wear. So I thought of maybe some mittens. And it had to be using the magic loop technique. After a quick search on ravelry I found these . I cast on using judy'smagiccaston . She gives some great tips for the rookie magic loop knitter. The mittens knit up in approximately a day.
As you can see in the photo I didn't use the red possum merino purchased in Toronto because the skein only had 223 yards and I needed 400. So I had to break into some of my own handspun. Still need to find a pattern for the red skein. Oh the fun of knitting!
