Let's knit a pair of Lord of the Rings fingerless gloves with handspun yarn
Hello friends! You were all very opinionated when it came to the next project with my spindle spun polwarth yarn: fingerless mitts it is! And not just any fingerless mittens, no with these mitts I apply for the position of Knight of Rohan. For the pattern we will be using is one from Tanis Gray's Fellowship of the Knits. I am a big Lord of the Rings nerd, and people are allowed to know that. So what better way than to wear self made LOTR merch in the form of handknit fingerless gloves? Follow me while I knit these mittens in this video. Forth Eorlingas!

Carding and spinning ALL the wool I dyed in 2024 into the Ultimate Chaos Yarn
มุมมอง 6K21 วันที่ผ่านมา
Hello friends! The past year I have dyed so many floofs of sheep's wool with natural dyeing methods. And I have yet to spin them all into yarn. To celebrate the start of a new year, here's the plan: let's put all of those dyed bits of wool onto my drumcarder, let's card all of it into a chaos batt, and then spin it into chaos yarn. That seems like a fitting end to 2024/start to 2025. In this ba...

Let's spin some zwartbles wool into yarn to commemorate a dearly beloved pet sheep

Hello friends! Do you remember the zwartbles I spun during Tour de Fleece 2023? One of those sheep, Vic, has sadly passed away this year.

My body hasn't remembered that it's not 29, and I'm 49. 😅
Unfortunately I totally get the Start a new Project with too many other project unfinished on the needles thing. Might be why I didn't finish as many projects as I planned to complete last year. This year in my year of "if you don't finish your meal (languishing WIPs) No Desserts. (new projects.) ;>} I have to complete 2 UFO's to get to put in cast on a new project this year. Why this is an issue I don't quite get because I have a Texture Time in gorgeous colors that is languishing. can you believe it?
Love your fingerless gloves ❤ Rivendel en Lothlorien. Maybe you can knit a headband with the pattern of Arwen's Evenstar.....
Omg the music you chose for the reveal with your sword instantly gave me video game “boss mob fight” vibes! ❤
Oh I do like that
When I visited Stirling in Scotland, when I looked up towards the castle I felt like I was looking at Edoras. A Golden Hall indeed. If you ever have the opportunity, take the mittens on a trip! :D Also, those mittens with that sweater look amazing together!
Green and browns. Green for life and brown for the earth😊
Very impressive
Have you ever seen Stephanie knipper’s videos? She has one concerning carding, it’s titled I’ve been doing it wrong, I’d like to know what your thoughts are concerning it. Love your videos
This is awesome. No pair of socks will ever be exactly the same. I hope more recycled yarns can be maee this way!
So couldn't find the book in the library or second hand in NZ so have ordered second hand copy from Biblio which is coming from Spain I will take 30-40 days to arrive 😂 So boy oh boy did your video Inspire me😊 just have to knit those mittens ❤ sending yarny good wishes to all Katy from NZ ❣️😊
Your needle roll with the knitted band for sticking the DPNs!! Have you talked about this before? Such a great idea!!!! Stealing. Sorry.
I have only used a drop spindle so far, however I think practically speaking it is illogical for modern people to assume they know more about a tool than the medieval people who were experts. Its like telling your mechanic how to fix your car when you perhaps only know how to change the oil. Tis only my opinion ofc
waar kan ik zo'n sok patroon vinden ?
I can't settle to one project for too long. And as you say, you need to exercise different muscles. That's my excuse and I sticking to it
Wow its beautiful . Thànk you for all the time and work you put into your work. I enjoyed the nature and knowing you made the intire sweater and yarn is awsome. Like the dice reminds me of pathfindes and dnd. You are very great at spinning and knitting. Thank you for inspiring me to learn knitting .
Maybe it's enough yarn to knit a bralette? But it will depend on the softness of it and if you can stand wool directly on skin. But it will keep you warm underneath a wooly sweater too
Hey Jente, How are you enjoying the tunis wool? Thank you so much for these cool mits. They look amazing 💜
Please realize that you are a staple in my household, and when I watch your videos on the big screen instead of my phone, my self-proclaimed dwarf husband will walk in to peek. He fully approved of the Rohan mitts, and then I hear “she pulled out the (insert sword name I can’t remember here)?!” Nerd husband approves! Always love your videos! I also totally skimmed through this book at a craft store around Christmas. Beautiful mitts!
"You can't make a sweater with it!" Not with THAT attitude! :P
LOL at hobbit hands because I have a very similar problem. My hands are a relatively average circumference but I have very short fingers so mitts are always too long unless I knit them shorter than directed. 😂
I love LoTR too! ... and am not quite hobbit size but perhaps 🤔 Dwarven height. 😅 my hands, feet & head are totally child size so I feel your pain! The favorite size of needles I knit on for appropriate guage for my own garments is typically 2mm to 3mm & I ignore positive ease (except for tops wich I like oversized & long enough to keep my seat covered h warm. Your fingerless mittens are AWESOME! 😍 I liked, subbed with all notifications & am leaving a comment to help your channel reach more people. I enjoy knitting (crochet & nålbinding) while watching videos. I'm so glad you showed up in my recommended videos today. I'm totally here for the shenanigans! 🫶
I just ordered some Zwartbles wool to spin! This is one of my favorite videos you’ve made.
My word of the day is going to be flooph (sp?). It makes me so happy. A great way to start the weekend.
Een ingebreide hoofdband met mini paardjes?
Headband, a belt, part of a corsage, a soap cosy, a small crocheted trinket bowl, a phone case, a coin purse, a little stuffed creature, a mug cosy, a glasses holder/pouch.. love your channel ❤
❤❤❤❤
Loved this episode as I am a big Lord of the Rings fan! Your mittens are great, and I would also vote for a matching headband/ear warmer, as you already have a scarf. To keep you warm in your studio, and to use up some of your other stash, why not make some leg warmers.
Love the jumper But you do have excellent taste in clothing
I am watching this in Jan 2025, you help lift my mood
Thank you :)
The only logical choice is an headpiece. Headband, scrunchie, huge crocheted hairpin, contrast color in a hat? I don't know what you would have the most use of, but it must be on your head.
I'm in LOVE with that scarf!!!!!!
Watching this while doing chores and accidentally having the subtitles on is a joy during the music bits
I was also against fingerless mitts but you’ve inspired me, maybe I need to knit a pair now!
You only know after experiencing them haha
You have got to teach me how you wind the yarn for playing bracelet
Perhaps a hat, combining purple and natural yarn to pull them all together, or a little chatelaine purse to safeguard the magic runes? Love the shenanigans ❤️
I think everyone suggesting a headband is on to something! Or, if the swamp skein continues to be endless, a whole hat! As for my favorite place in LOTR, it's Rivendell. The art nouveau style of the movies basically matched what I imagined when I read the books as a kid. It's just so pretty!
They came out beautiful
I’m a wool snob too but for a reason… I would be willing to bet your hands will be warmer or as warm as your husband wearing full mittens that aren’t wool. It makes a huge difference in warmth and for me who struggles to regulate my body temperature, wool has been life changing for me in a way I never dreamed it would. It has improved my quality of life. I put on a knitted wool sweater, wear all day,take off, go to bed, or wear to bed if I’m comfy. With Jersey or fleece pullovers & cardigans all day, on and off, on & off, sweaty then fine. Gross! Not at all, wool to the rescue!!!
Wool is indeed the best :D
I would say use for contrast toes and heels and cuff in socks, or a headband. Also I'm jealous, there must be a trick, when I try to longdraw with fingerless mittens the twist tends to grab the fibers of my mitts sometimes and get tangled. Maybe my mittens are just old and fraying though.
or maybe they are of a fluffier fiber?
I have this book also! I’m currently knitting the Hobbit toy!
Cute!
Omg, I mentioned this the other day!!!
I love those, absolutely gorgeous! I vote for an ear warmer band, like a beautiful elven crown or something 😍
Oh wow the mittens turned out so cool! And they seem to fit very well!
They do :D
It seems like you need a head covering to complete the set. Probably a hood to cover the places that the cape does not.
I enjoy your videos the most you do keep them interesting . Keep it up its great thank you.
That color would be perfect for a frog!!!!
Beautiful
Sorry, haven't even gotten past the two minute mark, but you said "Elden". Elden Ring knits, anybody??? I'll be here waiting. (Yes, I have lost my marbles. LMK if you find them.)
I clearly said elven haha
@ Let me have my dreams! XD
I love Rivendell because of the Art Nouveau/Jugendstil like you said. My second favourite is Minas Tirith. There's something very goth about an all-white city.
