toast
Thursday, January 21, 2021The knit I love to wear the most is hands down (Ha! Hands down, get it?!) TOAST mitts. Well, don't get me wrong... sweaters are my number one knit. However, the most worn knit I wear is TOAST.
I throw them on in the morning when the house is cold and dark and I stumble to the coffee maker. They are a great addition to my jammies.I throw them on when I'm wearing a t-shirt or a sweater and need just an extra something to warm my body.
I throw them on with a coat to pull over my fingers when I'm walking or driving. They add a little extra when the steering wheel is too cold.
There truly isn't a time I don't wear them.
I must take them on and off a half a dozen times in one day.
And they are that easy to wear. Pull down, push up, take off!
The yarn I used in my latest batch of TOAST was from my November Knitcrate. I was thrilled when my box arrived knowing immediately that the yarn inside must be TOAST mitts. (That's the beauty of having stash!) I knew they would be a tiny bit short of the 11" that the pattern calls for, but that would be fine. These measure almost 10". To make sure I would have the same amount per mitt, I used my kitchen scale. Everyone always talks about using their scale, so I finally felt like one of the cool kids on the block. I loved the yarn and color so much, I snagged an extra skein of each for another pair to gift. As always, if you are interested in a KnitCrate Subscription you can receive 20% off your first crate by using code FKW20 at checkout.
Yarn at my doorstep never looked so good!
