FO Report: #4 Mittens
Designer: Again, ??
Pattern Source: Weekend Knitting
Yarn: Cuff: Leftover Toasty Toes from my Clapotis #1; Hand: Cascade Lana d'Oro (wool/alpaca)
Needle Size: US5 I think
Gauge: 6 sts = 1"
Date Completed: Dec 2005
Recipient: The MIL
Overall, these mittens went well; I liked the contrast cuff, and especially because it matched a scarf that I gifted the MIL for her birthday last year. I made the women's Large. (There's a story there that you can ask me about another time, but I'll refrain from blogging about it here.) In any case, these are mittens #4 to report from the Holidays of Mittens this year, and I can imagine making this pattern again ... though the chunky version in the same book is just simply more tempting for an ADD girl like me.
Like I said ... double strand knitting just might be my best friend in 2006, the Year of the Stash.
