Twilight Replica ::Bella's Mittens:: With Pattern

[subliminalrabbit]

i've been dying to knit up a replica of bella's mittens from twilight.  the yarn finally arrived on saturday afternoon and i sat down, swatched, and spent all day sunday knitting and writing up the pattern!

here're the orginals:

and here're mine:

anyway, so many people seem to want to knit these on ravelry (looks like someone else here on craftster too!) that i wrote up the pattern so that everyone wouldn't have to spend their sundays doing math like me   -

free, of course!!!


***UPDATE:  PHOTO CONTEST!***

thank you, everyone, for all the support!  i wanted to let you know that in celebration of new moon, i'm running a little contest on my blog - with with twilight-happy and fiber-licious prizes! here's how you enter:

1. knit up a pair of bella's mittens. (if you've already knit 'em, that's fine - what's important is that you have a pair.)

2. take a photo (or two, or three) of your mittens.

3. upload your photo(s) to the bella's mittens flickr pool by november 20, 2009. add a description, caption - whatever you want. please, no more than five photos per person.

4. two winners will be declared premiere weekend on this blog in the categories "the lion fell in love with the lamb"/authentic, and "you don't belong in my world, bella"/original. interpret those as you wish. get creative. but since everyone has made beautiful mittens with gorgeous yarn substitutions, judging will be based more on photo composition than the knitwear itself. (every photo is considered for both categories - you needn't declare for one or the other.)


you guys are so creative...  i hope some of you choose to enter!  good luck!
