I knit it because I need it / 必要に応じて編む・・・

My weaving project is postponed ... I was knitting a mitten. I lost left side of my gloves or my daughter brought it somewhere, which often happens these days. I need it urgently as it's quite cold without gloves when I push my daughter's buggy without gloves.

段ボール箱を使って機織りをしようと思っていましたが、手袋を片方なくしてしまい、機織りは延期してミトンを編んでいました。ベビーカーを押す時手袋がないとさすがに手が寒いので。

So I decided to knitted a mitten and went to basement to find some yarn. I looked for patterns on Ravelry as always and find a simple or according to the title of the pattern "the worlds simplest" one :) It was quite simple and only took 3-4 hours to make one as I used chunky yarn.

色の合いそうな毛糸を見つけて、いつも通りパターンはRavelryで探して編み始めました。「世界一シンプルなミトンのパターン」というだけあって、太めの毛糸を使ったこともあり、ひとつ3-4時間ほどで編めました。

One change I made was that I decreased stitches slowly to shape the top roundly. I think I will close the top with Kitchener Stitch next time instead of letting through the yarn tail going through the last stitches. These are minor changes. Overall I'm satisfied with the result. I cut out boa to line inside when I have time this week. Another one comes soon too.

指部分の減らし目をちょっとゆっくりにして先端を丸めにしたり、次回は輪を締めて閉じるのではなくメリヤスはぎで閉じたいなと思ったり、小さな変更や改善案はあったものの、満足の出来です。時間をみて内側にフリースを入れようと思っています。もうひとつも近々編みます。

While I was reading about mittens, I found Latvian Mittens are amazingly beautiful. I would like to try to make one one day.

ミトンに興味を持ってあれこれ読んでいる中で、ラトビアミトンというそれはそれは精巧で美しいミトンがあることを知りました。やばい・・・いつか作ってみたい。

In the end here is another item I knitted based on my need with yarn I had. I used leftover of hemp yarn from my market basket to make a body wash towel.

最後にもうひとつ、これまた必要で作ったものを。夏に作った麻のマーケットバッグの残り糸で体を洗うタオルを作りました。

I saw a nice hemp body wash towel somewhere probably at a bio store but I couldn't find it. I used some alternatives but they are not easy to dry, chemical fiber one is too rough on skin, they don't make soap foam well. The one I made woks well, it dries quick, good texture, not bubbly foamy. It drops fiber so I have to find a bit finer hemp string for the next one.

以前どこか、多分ビオ屋さんでいい感じの麻のタオルを見かけたもののみつからず。あれこれ試してみるも乾きが悪かったり、化学繊維のものはハードすぎたり、泡立ちが悪かったり。作ったものは乾きもよくよい感じなのですが、少し繊維が落ちるのが気になり、これはもうちょっと粗くない糸を探して解消できるかな。

That's my Needlework Monday. It's nice I can make something I need by myself. I would like to increase the things I can make throughout my life :)

そんなこんなの針仕事の月曜日です。足りないものがあったらちょちょっと作れてしまうのは針仕事のよいところ。こうして人生を通じて自分で作れるものを増やしていけたらと思います。

Awesome mittens, I think I'll try making a pair :D

I recommend you the pattern :) It's so simple and quick especially with chunky yarn.

Awesome mittens, I think I'll try making a pair :D

「内側にフリースを入れる」!
それは暖かそう!素敵なアイディアですね(^^)
ボディタオル、良い感じでイイなぁと見せていただきました。
ラトビアミトン、先程画像検索してスゴさと美しさに見入ってしまいました。

編んで作ったものの弱点として隙間から風が入ってなんだか寒い・・・というのがあるんですよね。なので子どものルームシューズを作った残りを使って内側を作ってみることにしました。ラトビアミトン、すごいですよね。思わず旅に行きたくなってしまいました ;)

I never thought of making one mitten to replace a lost glove, that's such a good idea. I'm always losing one glove. The last set I bought was £1.25 from ASDA, they are made so that they are interchangeable, you can wear either glove on either hand, they're acrylic fleece, so, in principle, easy to make at home. But you know, I only ever lose one glove from an expensive pair 😂.

It's a temporal fix for few days and I'll knit another one soon :D And yes, it's same for me. I lost one from an expensive leather one. But ya, at least I used it for 7 years ...

it is very wise if you need something not to run to the store and try to do it yourself. you did great !!!! You surprised me with a towel of hemp. this is a great idea !!!

Thanks to Germany, stores are closed on Sunday. Actually it was shopping Sunday in my city on which stores are open in the afternoon but too rainy to go out. So thanks to the rain, I came up with knitting a mitten.

Talking about the towel, I like it a lot. I will look for some finer string for the next one.

What was it like knitting with hemp, @akipponn - is it rough ?
I hope you (or your daughter) can find that lost mitten :D ( I can identify with this too much ...)

Socks, mittens... all projects I shy away from. The more i admire you for getting them done. I have no idea how you knit the tiny tip of the thumb?
I think I also stumbled upon the Latvian mittens book (or another one, no idea how many there are) And I was amazed about the intricate colourwork. Wow...
But I have to admit I am still very curious of your weaving project, so please do not lose another glove :-DDD
