(Not) In Progress

After a rare three week spate of not-knitting-anything, I whipped up some mittens of my own design in under a week.

I like mittens. The shape is basic, so all it takes is a small gauge swatch and some math to get a blank canvas for colourwork. I seem to have a consistent issue with too much bulk at the wrist just after the cuff, so I'll make a point of devising a better increase method for the next pair.

For now, a sneak peek:

I even used stash yarn. The red was leftover from two other projects, and it's still not used up! I'll have some finished photos soon (the finished mitts are fun!), because they have to go in the mail. Is it odd that I have yet to make myself a pair of full mittens (two pairs of fingerless don't count)?.

But now I'm stuck again. Brad's going away next week, so I'll have lots of time, but I haven't a clue what to work on next. Maybe I'll have another go at recreating the Icelandic scarf I really regret neither buying nor photographing...
