These mittens were fun to make! Such a fast knit as well, which is good given that I knit the pair twice…
The first mitten had a big, glaring boo boo. I twisted right when I should have twisted left…or was that left when I should have gone right? Aggh! It was also a tetch big for me, so I reduced the number of stitches by 2 and it fits much better.
So Hannah and I went outside today to shoot a few pictures. It was the first sunny day we have had in what feels like a very long time and we were feeling a bit silly.
Hannah was trying to explain and show me how to smile with my eyes ala Tara Banks .
(can you believe she copy righted the phrase?? Sheesh!)
In between giggles and laughs, we got a few good pictures.
I think I did ok with those smiling eyes, but then I AM Irish and you know the song….
"When Irish eye are smiling"….
It was fun to be out in the sun today. It's a good thing because it's going to be awhile before we see the sun again.

Love, love your new mittens in the new worsted base. You really should have saved yourself some time and sent them on to me, cuz my hands are both a “tetch big”. 🙂

Those mittens are great — what a great color, and, wow, does it pop off of your orange sweater. Your photos make me laugh! And reminds me that my mom always says that you have to “look at the camera like you love it!” Haha! Try that next time!! ; )

Great photos of the knitted objects and the model! I love that colorway, too, Kim. I’m seeing my yarn diet being sorely tempted…
