I am just too excited to not blog about this right now! I finished my first ever fingerless mitten and a full mitten wouldn't have been much harder. I am so proud of myself! I had avoided these because of having to knit the thumb all separate and stuff. It was so much easier than I ever thought it would be!
Anyway, I used my basic hat recipe of casting on 70 stitches (I vary it based on yarn weight and needles) and doing a knit 2, purl 2 ribbing. I wasn't that happy with my decreases and next time will play aroud with it more for a smoother less condom head decrease.
For the mitts, I used this patternwritten by Wendy. It was so wonderfully easy to follow and do that I can't wait to do the second one! I used Malabrigo Chunky in the "Little Lovely" colorway.
Without further ado, here are some pictures of the completed project (OK, 2/3 complete, but the other glove will be done by this time tomorrow).

A little 2x2 ribbing.
A reluctant model.
The fnished set. Please ignore the poor quality of the photo. 20 degrees and snowy doesn't allow for much natural light.
Completely coincidental that I'm in pink.
WELCOME welcome welcome to the blog. I am so excited to have you here with me. I love the 2/3 project. LOL. I know you will finish it. The color is great and you look so cute in your picture.
