Take a look at this cozy pair of mittens I made for a friend. [: The pattern is really simple- the colourwork design, an old traditional Finish one- and the colours, too much fun to knit!
This is the kind of project I looveeee knitting. The needles are small enough to be light and quick in my hands, but big enough so it doesn't take too long to do a round. The colours are fun and always changing- letting me 'mix' my own colours so the subtle changes blend nicely. I know it's going to be a gift- so I put as much love into them as possible, and I get to think about what that person would really really love.
So happy birthday Saara! May these mittens keep your fingers warm and toasty whenever you visit home (Finland)! Love love love. Kxo
