Knitting Videos for Mittens

Hi Maureen,

I haven't had any luck locating a video that teaches how to knit mittens but I wonder if since you have mastered socks (you're not a begginner knitier if you can do that in my opinion) that you might not try knitting mittens from a written pattern?

Mittens don't have to be knit in the round - there are two needle patterns if you prefer to knit flat and seam after.

Regards, VP

This site has a lot of videos, it shows decreasing and knitting in the round. I hope it helps

Hi,

I think a written pattern would be a good thing. I think I can knit socks because I made up my mind I was going to and my brain just wouldn't take no for an answer, no matter what my hands were doing for those first few tries. :) I think it's the way they directions are written in some patterns that throws me too. I don't understand enough of them to really make sense of them. For instance, some will go something like....k2(twice). Well then, why am I not just knitting k4? But I will keep searching and thanks for your help.

Oh thank you! That page does help. Not so much with the mittens perhaps, but I see a section that is titled 'fixing mistakes' and it looks to be right up my alley! Much appreciated. :)

Thank you Donna. I think I may just have the answers now with the e-mails you've all sent to me. This group is great! Thank you all. I'm looking forward to spending more time here as my knitting obsession prospers. :)
