Some more progress was made on the little felt mittens WiP. This proved to be a nice-sized project to take to my Father-in-Law’s house when I had to spend some caregiving time there.
Did you ever have some technique that always gave you trouble and then it suddenly clicked? I faced that with french knots. In the past, they have always been trouble. I’ve gone as far as leaving them off of past projects because I didn’t want to ruin things when I got to the end, and I always put them off until the end. I don’t know what happened, but I was able to make the french knots on these (so far) without any problem. I still have 24 left to go, and am hoping they will be just as obedient.

Once you can do French knots they creep in everywhere. I love your mittens especially the one with the fir cone and the one with the snowflake.
I didn’t think I would like the cone, but it ended up being one of my favorites too.
look at all the lovely patterns and stitches! 🙂
The cute patterns are what got me to buy the kit.I like 5 of the 6 a lot. I’m not in love with the Santa.
I love the little button and beads that are going along with your embroidery and French knots. 🙂
They do add a nice touch. They came with the supplies. I especially like the beads as holly berries.
I love French knots!! These ornaments are cute!
I haven’t reach love yet, but I don’t dread them the way I used to.
I always have trouble with French knots, these mittens are so very cute!
I’m glad I’m not the only one. I’m hoping I won’t lose the french knot mojo after I am done this.
They’re coming along great!
Thanks. Slower than I expected when I started.
