This just in!

Ladies and gents, we interrupt this series of knitting flashbacks to bring you something current! Yep, hot off the needles, here is my most recent creation:

OOOooo...Ahhhh!
Pattern: Emerald Mitts
Designer: Lucy Sweetland
Yarn: Knit Picks Palette - AshNeedles: US # 4Time to Knit: 8 days here and there--a fun little project!Made for: What's that you say? A supreeez??Modifications: The most noticeable modification I made was knitting the rows following the bobbles tbl instead of through the front. Also, I decreased one stitch on row 16 of the chart by p2tog in the first stitch, then doing a P2K2 ribbing around the mitten except in the design in the front. Lastly, I must have misread the directions for the thumb gusset on the left mitt, because it looks completely different than the right. Regardless of the change, they both fit perfectly.

How about a close-up obligatory "mitts holding tea" shot? Oh look, here it is:

Huzzah! It was a fun and speedy project--I'm pleased with the final result and excited to get them to their mystery owner. Muaha. I love knitting surprises!
Oh, and here it is Raveled!

Nice mitts! I've been meaning to try my hand at a pair (never attempted hand wear before!) Your photos give me inspiration!
