It’s too hot to wear these, but…

…here are some mittens I finished a bit ago. They only took me a little over a year to finish. o.O


Pattern: A Bird in the Hand Mittens by Jorid Linvik
Yarn: Noro Silk Garden Sock in a variegated blue and a variegated beige.
Needles: US 2.5
Started: January 16, 2009
Finished: March 9, 2010

I really enjoyed working on these. The only reason they took so long is because I kept setting them aside to work on other things. They were the red-headed stepchildren of my project basket, poor things. But now they are done, just in time for…summer! Doh! Oh well. At least I’m prepared for this next winter!


I have yet to duplicate stitch the bird on the palm (hence the ‘bird in the hand’) or the red heart, but that’s because I haven’t found the yarn I want to use to do that yet. They are nice and toasty – the silk garden sock yarn is very silky and scrumptious – the perfect yarn for mittens!

Happy Knitting!
