How long have I been meaning to make these mittens? It feels like forever. I’ve been stalking other’s people’s mitered mittens on Flickr and just dreaming and drooling. Well, I am so glad I finally went and got myself a copy of Elizabeth Zimmermann’s Knitter’s Almanac (seriously, how could I not have had this book in my knitting library? crazy!) and knit these puppies up. I LOVE them. The pattern is super-simple, the yarn does all the magic, and they fit fabulously. Using the mods that Grace was wonderful enough to share with us, they were a breeze to knit. I am now ready for winter! Ummmmmm, well, on second thought, not quite, but I am extremely pleased with the mittens.

pretty, pretty, pretty! that colorway of silk garden is so lovely.
So pretty, Maritza! I love the bright colors.
Yes, so pretty. That turquoise next to the other colors makes me smile.
These are really pretty! I need to get more open to color like you.
Very pretty!
Oh, I love those bright happy colors!
Those are beautiful! And a great use for Noro too.
I like to look at everyone else’s mitered mittens and live vicariously; but, these make me want to knit my own pair. I deserve it! Yours look fantastic!
