All those Selbu mittens, with the thumb gusset set onto the palm. Beautiful, but I think side gussets are more comfortable. They match the anatomy better. How many people do you know with thumbs sticking out of their palms? About as many as I do, which is to say, none.<\/p>\n<p>Details on this mitten.  It&#8217;s worked in Rauma Finnullgarn, which is a beautiful yarn from Norway. It&#8217;s similar in grist to jumper weight Shetland, but the hand is completely different, especualy after you wash the garment. Shetland has a dry, crunchy, sandy texture, but Finullgarn is more like crispy bread crust.  I&#8217;m using 2.75mm Clover bamboo needles. I like to carry knitting loose in my handbag, and metal needles fall out too easily. And I think I clench metal tighter than I do wood or bamboo; my hands hurt after an hour of knitting. I just prefer wood to metal.  Inhaven&#8217;t measured my gauge, but I would guess I&#8217;m getting 7-7.5 spi over straight stockinette, and maybe 6spi over the beaded cuff. <\/p>\n<p>In case you ever wondered, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.designsbyromi.com\/\">Designs By Romi<\/a> shawl pins make excellent emergency stitch holders.<\/p>\n<p>What are you knitting?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I had to rip back a half inch or so, because I got too excited over the side thumb gusset.
