I had a very hard time working with DPNs, but I was hell bent on learning knitting with them. I don’t call this is one of my best works, because there were too many mistakes. But V loves these.

He didn’t want fingerless mittens/gloves, so I worked with the one and only one glove pattern I found on the internet after searching for a while. Looks like people have stopped knitting these kind of traditional gloves. They are very warm.

Yarn used: Lion brand Vanna’s choice Color: Beige
Pattern: From ravelry
Needles: US 8 DPNs

It is supposed to be a easy and fast scarf. But took me quite a while. I should have used bigger needles to get the elongated twisted drop stitch. This has come out very warm, so I like it very much.

Yarn used: Wonderwool Glanzeffekt Color: Ice blue
Pattern: From Half assed patterns (I knitted 3 rows and 1 row of twisted knit stitch)
Needles: US 11

V has to walk about 3 blocks after parking his car near his office. As the temperatures are dropping day by day, he is having hard time. So he asked for a warm and cozy cap which covers his face. I had no idea what this particular cap is called here in US. I knew it is called monkey cap in India. I had bought a couple of them for him when he was in Sydney and he never wore them as they were quite itchy. Unfortunately, I again forgot what this is called here in US (bike cap or hiking cap or something like that).

For the second time(after the baby cardigan), I used double pointed needles for the decrease on this cap. I must confess, I dislike working with them :(. They hurt my hands as I really don’t know how to use them. Now I am hell bent on learning knitting with DPNs :).

I used slightly more than 1 skein. I don’t know what to do with remaining yarn now. I used one number higher needle size than mentioned in the pattern (but when decreasing, I used US 8 DPNs as I don’t have US 9 DPNs).

Needles: US 9 and US 8
