The mittens one of my sisters requested for her birthday are complete!
Smaragdi Mittens (mine ravelled here),
knit in Cascade Heritage Silk, Real Black and Knitpicks Felici, Rainbow colorway
(Rainbow is now discontinued, but I'm hoping they bring it back again.)
The pattern is written so that the mittens are identical. Since our hands aren't, this means that the back of one is the palm of the other. The fact that the backs of the hands didn't match made me twitchy, so I changed it.
These were my 2014 Ravellenic project, which was excellent motivation to keep moving on them. Now i am wondering if I have enough time to get a pair of socks finished...
They look great. I wholeheartedly support them matching. :)
