  1. I am casting on 14 and dividing them for Magic Loop. I have made a gauge and the cast on still isn’t right. Is there a correction for the CO 14? Am I doing the wrong amount of CO for Women’s Small, Bulky-Weight Mittens?

      Hi,

      I’m going to be passing your question along to Liat, but I want to let you know that she is currently on maternity leave (she is expecting her baby very soon) and will be taking up to 1-2 weeks to answer.

      Thanks so much for your patience and understanding!

      Best,
      Elias

  2. Does the two at a time video provide information for the bulky knit mittens? The pattern seems confusing to me when you get to the thumb. I have knit the worsted weight mittens but the bulky weight pattern is hard for to visualize.

      Hello Theron,
      Yes, the Two at a Time Mittens course does include instructions on bulky weight mittens
      Happy Knitting,

      1. Thanks, I will get the video. It doesn’t make sense in the pattern for the thumb. Rnd 1: K1, M1L, PM, k to end, PM, M1L. I’m unsure how to place a marker or M1L after you have knit to the end. There are no stitches left to pick up for the M1L.
