This is a design by Ali Strebel which included both hooking and applique. Sadly I gave my first ever hooked mitten to someone ~ we were suppose to exchange first hooked pieces. Well she got mine but I didn't get hers, lol. But I hooked more of them , gave as gifts or sold.
The edit: At 4 a.m. when I woke to go to the bathroom remembered that I have hooked another as did Nancy Kilrain. Here is mine, which I still own but had a lapse of memory, lol. I liked hers better and borrowed stole her idea for a braided hanger.
Julia asked if I hooked the back....no I didn't hook a back for the pocket, I used a piece of the same off white wool used for hooking the pocket.
And here is Nancy's; I love the direction she hooked the cuff which gives it the impression of a knitted mitten. And, by the way, Nancy has ressurected/redirected the content of her blog to be more her hooking since her husband seem to be making bird houses. Drop by for a visit with NANCY.
I've been watching the George and Tammy TV series about the life of George Jones and Tammy Wynette. I had no idea of the turbulent life they led probably because there was no social media back then and I didn't go to their shows or keep up with the music gossip. Show is interesting and good music to entertain me while hooking. Also would like to add that I'm happy I'm not famous with an image to keep.
Happy hooking.

I hooked mittens to sell last year and ever kept one for myself. Oh well. Yours looks so nice! Janice

That would be a fun thing to hook to put on the door for all winter.
ReplyDeleteWe are in for rain. I would rather get snow at this point because it is just going to freeze up and become black ice.

It looks like a quick and easy project to hang on the door for the whole winter. I like the sprigs of red berries inside the mitten. One question, Is the mitten hooked on both side to form a pocket or a is the backing sewed on on back. I supposed it could be made both ways.
ReplyDeleteOur six inches of snow has gone down a little and the roof is dripping in this mild weather. I haven't checked the forecast to see what's coming next.
Three people I know are sick with Covid. One is a nurse but she is still at home and my nephew caught it while in hospital. My great-grandson is just getting over a flu but from school. Sickness around Christmas sucks.
Stay well and safe.
Hugs,
Julia
Excuse all the typos. I rushed, I've got to go drive my husband somewhere to find a business address.
