Mitten Mania



These started as an experiment in combining Fair-Isle with a non-Scandinavian mitten pattern, and turned out pretty wearable. They helped me shovel last weekend when the Big Snow hit.

Of course, my little guys needed some, too. Here's Li'l A clowning with his finished mittens.



And the mittens all by themselves:



I used a variation on the pattern from Nancy's Needle Nook, on Size 4 dpn's for Aden's and 6 for mine; the design is the Old Goose Eye from The Mitten Book. How I love that tiny book!

The yarn on the Yellow/Purples=Knitpicks' Wool of the Andes, and Swish Superwash for the little buddy's mitts.

Jaala-the mittens are beautiful. I did not know that you had it in you. What an accomplished knitter you are.
