Quick 'n Dirty Mittens

Take 2...

I had this written out a couple days ago but the app crashed, so I'm just now getting around to a retry.

I was reminded of the mitts I made for a co-worker last year, and thought: "I want a pair of those!" I'm not always very patient, so I stitched these up that very evening.



The idea was to not only be quick, but also to do it in one piece, as I dislike ending and starting new yarn when not needed.

I like them, but they're super bulky.

Version two is in the works, in a heathered lilac wool. Definitely more wearable. I like the sapphire, but it doesn't match much of what I wear other than my ring :)

Then I'll post the "pattern"
