I knit a pair of Malabrigo mittens for the person I was spoiling for secret santa this year. Our official reveal date is tomorrow but I'll be in California visiting family for Christmas so I outed myself today. She loved the mittens and even said I was the best SS ever but I need to disagree, I had the best SS ever. She spoiled me rotten. Started: December 6, 2006 Finished: December 18, 2006 Pattern: Warm Woolly Mittens by Theresa Gaffey pattern #51 Size: Adult Medium Yarn: Malabrigo Merino Wool Color: 1 skein each Natural & Shocking Pink Needles: Size 4 bamboo DPN Knit for: my Secret Santa spoilee
I'll be back sometime after Christmas blogging about all the hand knit gifts I gave this year! Have a wonderful holiday!!
Those look great! Do you think you could squeeze a pair out of one skein? I've got one left over from a scarf I just made and I've been trying to think of a good way to use it. Happy Holidays!!
I am a 30-something dental hygienist living in MN with my Weimaraner Casey, and missing my Boxer Flea. My husband Kyle is my best friend. I drive a 10 year old truck and a 9 year old motorcycle. My brother is currently serving in the US Air Force stationed in New Mexico. I love Rice Krispie bars, all things Tangerine/Mandarin Orange and Pistachio, Peanut M&M's, caramel, Jelly Bellys, comfortable shoes, cowboy/rodeo fabric, warm blankets, handmade quilts, soft pillows, really good chocolate and lazy days. I dislike litterbugs, dry hands, burned popcorn, slow drivers, below zero days and poor service & dirty silverware at restaurants. I'm currently enjoying my new Android phone, working on my UFO's and reading Recalculating on my nook.
I'm looking forward to Christmas!
