I finally have a finished project to share! I haven't had a ton of knitting time lately, but Winter is here (it's snowing out RIGHT now) and my hands have already started to crack and bleed, so mittens seem like a good thing to make. Here are the details:
Project name: Malabrigo Mittens
Pattern Name: Wool-Ease Mittens by Stephanie Taylor (A free pattern on Ravelry)
Yarn: 85.3 yards (82 grams) of Malabrigo Chunky Yarn
Needles: US 10 (6.0 mm)
Size made: Large
I have made mittens from this pattern several times now. It's a great stash buster and the mittens work up pretty darn quick. It's just hard to go wrong with a chunky mitten! I know knitting a heavy wear item like a mitten from Malabrigo is just asking for it. I suspect these guys will look like pilled up messes before the winter is over, but for the time being I am enjoying these soft and warm mits!. Some times you just have to go for it!

Oh I do love your model, how pretty with the hat on!! lol. Love the mitts. Our weather is worlds apart, you are having snow we have 33C today.
Cheers, Anita.
@Anita Isn't she sweet? Although I don't think mittens impress her much. I think she is jealous of my thumbs? ;)
We do have a big temperature difference between us! Right now it's -6.1C here. Brrrrr! I can't imagine 33C right now! We won't see that again for 7 or 8 months!
Thanks for stopping in and commenting Anita. Always get a smile from you! :)
