Thrumming right along










For my latest knitting project, I've decided to try a technique called thrumming. It's where you incorporate regularly-spaced bits of unspun wool in your pattern, which then create not only an interesting decorative effect on the outside, but a nice fleecy lining on the interior. I'm making a pair of mittens at the moment. You can see the exterior decoration in the first picture, and what will eventually (with wear) become the lining in the second.

This is a gift for a friend. Who? Maybe you!
