One PAIR of mittens

The colorwork pair of mittens are not finished, but this pair of mittens meant to imitate cloisonne enamel work is done. As usual, Penny was the instigator and I meekly agreed to learn to knit these mittens while she was here visiting at the beginning of March. We shopped for yarn, figured out the instructions on the pattern, and cast on. Penny finished her first pair within a couple of days (and is probably on her third or fourth pair by now). The pattern is Cloisonee by Stephanie Pearl-McPhee.

One mitten

The left mitten is finished - and it's so warm! I'm working on the cuff of the right mitten, but the days and nights are getting milder. They'll be nice for next winter.

Mittens

I feel as though we jumped from autumn to spring, with really no winter in between. Although I have a "To-Knit" list a mile long, I have been longing to knit something small, but not too mindless. So even though the days are mild and pleasant, I'm starting a pair of mittens called Freja.
