Knitting two mittens at the same time

After having learned to knit two socks at the same time, on circular needles it was tempting to try the same with mittens.  After socks size 2 years there were more of the Arwetta Classic yarn in bright yellow.

Starting with 16 stitches on top, increasing to 40.
then knitting until the length of the mitten above the thumb.

Knitting two at the same time: will never make two right mittens again,

Knitting two sock on circular needles, from toe and up

I have just returned from a knitting festival at Bornholm.

Together with some friends I attended a workshop with Lene Randorff - knitting two socks at the same time.

Starting from the toe of the socks

Knitting socks on circular needles

Both new to me, but a very cool way to knit socks.

First we knitted some very small socks so we would make it to the heel before the workshop was over.

Then we were given the advice to not wait to long to use the technique again. So I bought some Arwetta classic and knitted a pair of socks size 2 years. In brigth yellow to someone who loves yellow.
