Last night, I wrapped up these easy Susie's Reading Mitts for my friend, Elizabeth. The pattern calls for a DK weight yarn, but I made the smallest size using Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran and size 5 needles. They turned out perfectly. I really like this yarn for mittens; it's thick, soft, durable, lovely. Elizabeth requested black mitts, which means she needs to take them directly out of my house before Moose's dog hair falls like snow upon them. I have a very clean home, but pug hair magnetically, magically moves to black.
Monica loves these mitts - how could she not given how well everything coordinates with her hair and eye color?

ReplyDeleteThis AM I cast on for Kaffe Fassett's Lidiya scarf (http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/lidiya-scarf) and Thursday I'm going to spend the day in PA with Kathy Zimmerman to finalize my Early Bird Special cardigan (http://www.ravelry.com/projects/knittingatlarge/early-bird-special). No rest for the weary knitter!
