I knit a garter stitch cuff and liked it. I used the waste yarn trick for the thumb opening and my thumb lies at an angle across the body of the mitten and allows for an anatomical fit which didn’t require extra ease. These mittens are the perfect companion to EZ’s Ganomy hat with its similar mitered shaping.

Hey, Susan! I just finished a pair of those!! I knit a short row or two over a half-dozen or so stitches on the “center side” of the thumb to try and relieve the stress on the middle and it seemed to work. It’s not perfect, but there is definitely less stress. I might try it another way next time. It’s fun to play around with and I always think that EZ would approve — even cheer! Can you imagine the brainstorming of problems and solutions and alternatives that would occur in a knitting circle of which she was a part?

The mittens are very cool. And so not um not yellow?

The mittens are gorgeous! I have seen that pattern in EZ’s book, but didn’t realize how pretty they were/are until now. I am going to try to make a pair, too. Thanks for the inspiration!

Those are great. And I’ll bet the next pair won’t be yellow.

Looks good. I’m interested to see the problem solving in the next pair (paired photos?)
