Mia's Mittens

These were a quick and easy knits.  I used the basic mitten pattern from Ann Budd's wonderful book, A Knitter's Handy Book of Patterns.  I added an i-cord to prevent the mittens from getting separated.  This was a great way to use up some of my cascade 220, and they should be warm this winter as they are 100% wool.  The best part is that she is actually willing to wear them!

A First Hat for Winter

It's finally finished!  This hat has been a labor of love, and a long process as I did everything from dyeing the yarn myself.  It is all worth it as she now has a very warm hat that she will actually wear.  It is also a bit big, so hopefully it will last for at least one more winter season.  Now we will be able to build snowmen outside when the winter comes!
