This is the picture (top) to be inpired by for this week's Tuesday Trigger at Moxie Fab World. Beautiful knitted mittens .- so I just had to knit a miniature one. Turned out to be a bit trickier than I had planned (-: because to get the right colors I had to use my Mouline embroidery yarn which, for those of you who don't know, consist of six very thin treads. And these mittens had to be knitted on toothpicks which aren't that smooth after all, so the yarn sometimes got stuck and made ugly loops in the knitting - but I didn't give up (!) and here's the result.
I used another of Maile Belle's fantastic sketches that she has designed for Skipping stones challenge. Can't help it but I'm still wishing for that heartsong stamp set (-:
It is also for the "Colors of the Season" Challenge at Wee Memories where they want to see reds, blues and greens - and some yellow and orange too I hope!!!

Oh my word! I've thought about making tiny little mittens, but it always seems like too much work. I'm so glad to see that you did this. Almost makes me want to order a set of super fine sock needles to try it myself...
Ooo, la, la! Absolutely perfect for all three challenge, Karin! Lovin' it! Thanks for playing along in Wee Memories' Scrappy Saturday Challenge!
That little mitten is just the cutest! Nice job on all of the challenges.

Wow. This is amazing! I kinda don't want to make a card for the Tuesday Trigger anymore, since I know yours is much better than whatever I can whip out tonight! Thanks for the inspiration! :)
oh, you so nailed this challenge! I know embroidery thread and knitting so I know what a labor of love this one is. A perfect answer to the stripey Tuesday Trigger!!!
I am sick from seeing at how absolutely dedicated you were to creating this trigger card.
Un-B-Leave-able. You are too much! Toothpicks? Really??? You have to get the trigger this week! (too bad I don't pick for real-lol)
Oh myh moxie fab, Karin! What a supah fun approach to this week's Tuesday Trigger in the Moxie Fab World! I'm so glad you joined in on all the fun! :)
THIS IS INCREDIBLE....I can't knit on big needles let alone on toothpicks! You certainly deserve that win!
OH.MY.WORD!!! This is AMAZING!!!! Congrats on the trigger- I'd say this was absolutely a bullseye!!!!
If only I could knit that well!! How did you get so good at it?? Fab Trigger submission!
How CUTE is this?!!!!! Love it!
Congratulations and gorgeous, CUTE card!
Your mittens are adorable.
My friend knits miniatures and she knitted little mittens for us last year for Christmas to use as scissor fobs. She uses long thin needles but I think her father made them for her.
Congratulations on the win, which you most definitely deserve. The little mitten is too cute and looks fabulous against the striped background.
I love your card, it was one of my favorites!
Adorable, love the mitten!
Wow! So awesome!
Wow... thought that mitten was cool before I read your post... I think it is amazing that you knitted that:)
CONGRATS, Karin! I just knew this card would be a MFW pick :o)
