FO


I finished my mittens!!!! They knit up so quickly, once I got the yarn and needle size right anyway. Although even with those problems it took me less than two weeks to finish them. Here they are:

Specs:
Pattern: Newfoundland Mitts (pattern available here)
Yarn: Briggs and Little Regal (black) & Noro Silk Garden
Needles: US 4 / 3.5 mm & US 5 / 3.75 mm
Timeline: Jan 30th to Feb 10th

To make them more matchy, you would need to use two skeins of silk garden. I played with the yarn a bit to make these at least slightly matchy but not too much.

I love these mitts and will probably be making a few more pairs. Just not right away because as you may already know, I am designing the March sock for the Sock Club at Robyn's Nest. So I need to concentrate on that for a bit. Please buy a kit!!!
