Because...
Who Doesn't need a pair of 100% wool mittens when it's 86°F outside?
Details:
Pattern: Wood Hollow Mittens (rav link) by Kirsten Kapur of Through The Loops
Yarn: Cascade 220 Tweed - leftovers from my Tangled Yoke Not-Cardigan. The irony? I still had leftovers, cast on for a matching hat & will need to buy more of this yarn if I want to finish the hat (I'm 2/3 of the way done, so ripping out in favor of a different project isn't an option). I see a very unfriendly loop of sorts in my future - buy new skein, finish hat, have leftovers still, cast on different project, need more yarn, buy more yarn, etc. Arghhhh - 2010 is supposed to be about stash reduction!
Needles: KPO US5. Should have used a US6, but since the US5 tips were already on the cable from the TYNC, I just sallied forth...
Time Frame: Not exactly sure, but I think it probably took me around a week of on & off knitting.
Overall a fun knit & great addition to the knit gift basket.
Ciao!

Thanks fro making me laugh! I hope you figure out how to handle the remainder of the skein you buy... :)
Very pretty, I love them!
Fantastic mittens! I keep forgetting about that pattern. Don't forget about them for next winter. :)
Just put the 220 down. Walk away slowly and let it fester in your stash OR find a nice colorwork hat to knit. :)
Yeah, stash-busting is like that.
Cute mittens!
