Entre-WHAT?

Yarn: Sugar 'n Cream cotton yarn, (seashore)
Needles: one size 7 and one size 8 DPN (by mistake!)
Pattern: http://knotanotherhat.typepad.com/GarterlacDishcloth2.pdf (PDF file)
Comments: First try at Entrelac knitting. I've never much liked the look of entrelac until I saw it done in garter stitch... Garterlac? Will definitely do again.

    Thanks!

    To do the fun fur on the mitten cuffs I just add a strand of fun fur to the reg yarn (cast on with both strands, do ribbed cuff, and then drop the fun fur strand and work the rest of the mitten with just the reg yarn. That's it!

    Thanks for the instructions. I have made mittens trying the fun fur at the cuff but I did all purl rows and used it alone - not sturdy enough. I like your idea better . Using the fun fur along with a strand of yarn - much sturdier!
    Thanks again
