Knitting: A pair knitted

I finished knitting the second (or one pair) of mitts.

With more yarn on the ball ... seeing if I can get another pair.

Then can sew the side with opening for thumb.

I've also gone thru my stash - thinking I have another ball of this type/color yarn : )

Using Debbie Bliss Donegal Luxury Tweek Aran.

Made in Kilcar Ireland.  90% wool, 10% angora.

 

Thread Wrapped Button: Six Pointed Death's Head Button

Six-Pointed Death's Head Button

This pattern is by the class instructor, Karen Smock.

This is the third button in our 2nd class.

[I like the sheen of DMC's perle].

Thread Wrapped Button: Outlined Star

Week Two:

From week two button making, zoom classes via The Lace Museum Virtual Education.

Pattern by instructor, Karen Smock.

For this 1.25"  button, I used 

Coton Perle DMC #5.

Colors 554 & 745.

I've orderd more button moulds (wooded pieces used under the fibers).

I have color ideas and want to create more : )

Still putting together the other button from this class/session.  Uses three colors and I have a good start ...  stay tuned.

 

Thread Wrapped Button: Staphorst

Week Two:

The Thread Wrapped Buttons (zoom) class

continued.   Pattern by instructor, Karen Smock.

The Lace Museum Virtual Education.

I used DMC Coton Perle #5.

Color 518, 754, & 677.

apx 1.25"

I'm still creating two more buttons from the class.   The zoom group is so very creative, and FAST with their needles and fibers.    Well, not me, kinda slow-poke, so, stay tuned.

 

One of 2

Started a pair of mitts today.  I'm using Debbie Bliss Donegal Luxury Tween Aran.   Made in Kicar Ireland.  Colour 360007.   Size 9 knitting needles.

The pattern was part of a kit.   I like the simplicity of this pattern ; )

 

Death's Head Button

Tried the (Button 1) Death's Head Button, again.

This one is 1   1/2".   I used DMC perle coton #5.

Color 604 and Color 772.

I think it looks better than the first one I tried (previous post)

 

Thread Wrapped Buttons

 Week One:

I signed up for four button making sessions.  Karen Smock is the instructor of these sessions..

Virtual Education via Lace Museum

On Wednesday, we made three different buttons.

Button 1 - Death's Head Button.

I used DMC perle coton #5.  Color 799.   Not bad for the first try.   

Button 2 - Cross Button.

I used DMC perle coton #5.  Color 353.  I think my 2nd button came out better than the first one.

Button 3 - Square Wrap Button.

I used DMC perle coton #5.  Color 554.

These have four spokes.  Each of the buttons are about 1.25"

Looking forward to our next class.
