A Finished Pair of Mitts

The mitts are finally complete. I really only spent a few days working on them, but those few days seemed to be dragged out over a couple of weeks.



Pattern: Dashing from Knitty.com
Yarn: Mountain Colors Twizzle
Needles: US6 DPNs

This was a fun pattern, and if I had knit consistently on them, they would have been finished in a few days. The yarn was great to work with--so soft and the colors are beautiful. It's generally pretty chilly here, so these are perfect. I'd like to make a pair for myself at some point, but I would definitely make them shorter if I did. They are very long on me.

My husband is happy as well. Believe it or not, this is the first thing I've knit for him. I'm a selfish knitter! There is a much promised sweater in the works, but I haven't worked on it for quite a while. Hopefully, these will keep him happy for a while.
