Happy Marled Mitten Monday! This mitten would be hard to lose in a snow bank.

Happy Last Marled Mitten Monday of 2025! This year I knit 72 pairs of mittens, despite thinking I would slow down after reaching 600 total. I discovered that in summer heat, mittens were what I wanted to knit. And I’m only 40 pairs away from 700! #noswatchnogaugemittens

Happy Marled Mitten Monday! Why 4? I was away from home when I finished 2 and didn’t remember I had left 1 at home, so I cast on 3. Good thing there was plenty of yarn.

Happy Marled Mitten Monday! You might think I won at yarn chicken, and I did, but I also lost. Look at the top and thumb of the right hand mitten, and you’ll see the replacement yarn when I ran out. The nubbin is what’s left of that. #noswatchnogaugemittens

Happy Marled Mitten Monday! Hmmm . . . If I had to come up with a color name for this combo it might be camo rainbo. #noswatchnogaugemittens

Happy Marled Mitten Monday! Today’s mittens are an example of the range of sizing I can get with the same pattern by changing the yarn weights. The mitten on the left is a fingering weight + lace weight. On the right is fingering weight + light worsted. Same number of stitches in each.

Happy Marled Mitten Monday! I am always happy to knit with primary colors because I know they will be popular with little kids. #noswatchnogaugemittens

Happy Marled Mitten Monday! This is the 630th pair, and quite appropriate in the lead up to Halloween. #noswatchnogaugemittens #marledknitting #2strandsheldtogether

Happy Marled Mitten Monday! I do love some chartreuse, don’t you? #noswatchnogaugemittens

Happy Marled Mitten Monday! Good old Patons Kroy sock yarn is the self striping yarn in this combo. #nogaugenoswatchmittens

Happy Marled Mitten Monday! More insights! Here’s the results of knitting a variegated yarn with a solid white vs. a tonal raspberry pink. #noswatchnogaugemittens

Happy Marled Mitten Monday! When this series started, a key goal was to provide samples of how two yarns appeared when held together for knitting. I need to do more of this. Here’s an example of a variegated yarn knit along with a white yarn and two strands of the variegated.

Happy Marled Mitten Monday! It seems fitting to celebrate laborers with protection for those hands. #noswatchnogaugemittens

Happy Marled Mitten Monday! The combination of pink and green reminds me of my teen obsession with The Preppy Handbook. #noswatchnogaugemittens

Happy Marled Mitten Monday! Another primary colored mitten, but with a tan base so they are more subdued than last Monday’s pair. #noswatchnogaugemittens

Happy Marled Mitten Monday! There’s has been an abundance of pink here lately, but we’re moving on. #noswatchnogaugemittens #pinkyarn

Happy Marled Mitten Monday! This Shibui sock yarn has been in my stash for a long time because I never had another yarn I thought would pair well with it. It eventually occurred to me that I could knit with two strands of it, so I did. Twice! #noswatchnogaugemittens

Happy Marled Mitten Monday! Someone recently asked me what happens to all my mittens. As a proud member of the #madisonknittersguild I can say we have a huge community service program. The mittens go to them, and they make sure they go where they are most needed.

Happy Marled Mitten Monday! An unintentionally camo pair. #noswatchnogaugemittens

Happy Marled Mitten Monday! My mittens were much more scrappy before lovely knitters started gifting me yarn. But, this pair started with a thrifted bag of leftovers and many little balls of the same yarn. So, using a Russian join, I turned the many into one and knit on. #noswatchnogaugemittens
