Mitts from months and months ago

I probably knit these in May or so for a swap. I had tried using up some yarn from my stash, but I literally had 2 yards of yarn left at this point. I did end up getting some more yarn and adding a thumb to them, but I guess I failed to take pictures when they were completed. I like these mitts a lot. A very lot. The yarn I used was a lovely soft wool/alpaca mix. When I complete the thousands of other projects I have laying around, maybe I'll make myself a pair from the near-full skein of yarn I now have. So much for stash busting.

Doctor Office Mitts

I knit these mitts from a pattern from some magazine I had laying around in the waiting rooms of all the doctors' offices I have been in over the last few months. The colors are a little crazy for me - but my coat is black and they should actually match the crazy scarf I'm making. If I then actually make a matching hat it will be the first time I've been coordinated in years. We'll see.

The pattern was pretty simple - and forgiving - and I like the way they turned out. This used mosaic knitting, though, instead of two strand knitting, so I'm going to bet that I'll need thicker mitts towards the middle of winter. Oh, well.
