Fiber Arts Friday: Fiber Celebration, part 7

Last week I mentioned that I needed to practice casting on with two strands.  The instructions in my book aren't quite clear, so I went to YouTube.

I learned that casting-on with two strands is basically the Long-Tail Cast-on, which is my standard cast on.

The Twined Knit swatch on US2 needles yielded about 6.5 stitches per inch and a dense fabric. 

I think this is it for mittens.  Hooray!  I'm excited to start knitting this project.

Happy Fiber Arts Friday!
