This pair of mitts flew off the needles faster than I thought they would! After getting the hang of the pattern the first time, they were a cinch to make, because there was hardly any concentration required, except for the casting on and binding off stages (the blah blah style sure does make a beautiful edge, too). I didn't have any 3.00mm needles to make the size medium, so I just used 3.25mm and they turned out fine, I think. I have baby hands and small wrists, and they still fit ok on me. I hope that the recipient likes them! It's hard to part with yet another pair of these especially as my fingers get beyond chilly in my unheated apartment at night. Next up, a pair for myself!

I also started a fun new project that I had been thinking about for a while, for use this week on my snowboarding trip to Hokkaido. It's my own pattern so no more peeks until it's finished. I'm not quite sure what it will look like! It's not done yet, but after the ferry and plane ride there (and the waits) hopefully I'll have something new to keep my ears warm.
