Mittens In July

So I completed these in about a day...maybe two. I knit mittens really fast. Too fast maybe.


And just for kicks:


The mittens! Trying to kill John...or something. I'm not really sure what's going on, but he looks frightened.


And me, modelling my mittens! (And covering my face! Heehee)

And so that you all are aware, the yarn that made these mittens came from

Yes! That is right! My favorite skein that I have dyed and spun up myself thus far. =)

The mittens themselves are a little...off. Both pairs tend to be really bulky at the bottom, and a bit thin at the top and the thumb just due to the unevenness from spinning. But I'm really happy with them. They'll be super warm by winter for sure. At first, I made them a bit bigger than they actually are, and was considering lining them with fleece, but...that would have made them REALLY warm. Like, venturing into the Canadian tundra warm. Haha.

Anyone want some mittens? If you say yes, I might make you some for Christmas.

In news completely unrelated to crafty and arty stuff, I have an apartment. Huzzah!
