lone one in the snow


Here is one mitt I finally finished, except for the thumb (hence the safety pin). I have made these following the chart from the Inga Hat, which has required a bit of fudging and experimenting, but had been good stranding practice for me, as I am pretty awful at it. There's no way you are seeing the inside of this mitt!

Anyway, the reddish/purple/brown yarn is Drops Alpaca, and the off-white is Patons Classic Merino, so they are nice and soft. Also a bit snug, which is why I am still on the fence about making the second one. Would love to hear what other people think!

This is beautiful - definitely deserves its partner alongside it. Interesting pattern and the colours are great.

That is so lovely. You can stretch them a bit when you block them if you think they are too snug!
