Yarn: Louet Gems Pearl in French Blue and Cream
Needles: Size 2 circulars
Started: November 24, 2007

I had a blast knitting these knitting these mittens. I love stranded color work and mittens make a really quick instant gratification project.
The pattern was very well written and easy to follow. I was particularly impressed by how well the charts were presented. They were clear and just the right size to follow with the naked eye. All in all, it was well worth however much I spent.
And the yarn? The yarn was a joy to work with. It’s 100% Merino and silky smooth to the touch. Though I’ll probably recommend handwashing the mittens, I love that it’s a superwash yarn. I think it’s good insurance against having them mistakenly thrown into the washing machine.
Gratuitous shot of the inside.
The Fair Isle bug has hit hard. I plan on doing more as I just received the book Selbuvotter. Only this time around I’ll be tackling the more challenging shape of gloves. I’ve already started a pair for Shelly’s daughter. More on that tomorrow. ;-)
