That is a great idea! I thought about doing some swatching but in the end I just focused on finishing my WIPs, but next time I'll take advice!

Found myself a cosy knitting spot!
I'm working on my Alma mittens. π§Ά

Yes they are! They are so easy to knit too and are double layered so perfect for in the house. I did make a few modifications to the pattern. Mainly using Jody's magic cast on and do less rounds on the heel and more on the foot.

#knitting #knitsky #almamittens
There are so many options and depends on what you like the feel of and how sensitive you are. Do you have a pattern in mind that you want to knit? It might be easiest to use the recommended yarn if it's available to you. Also, on ravelry.com you can find a huge amount of knitting patterns
