So this is definitely not lace knitting. But it’s getting mighty cold here at the moment, and with the threat of snow, I want to be prepared. I’ve been wearing my Bronte Mitts quite happily so far, but now I need to get my fingers covered up!
Enter Diane’s Winter Garden Mittens. I’ve had four balls of Jamieson’s Shetland Spindrift in my stash since the summer, so it was just a case of finding the yarn *ahem* and getting started.
I found the two colour ribbing took a long time to do, but it looks so pretty that I’m glad I persevered. I did consider just knitting the cuff in one colour… 
Anyway, I also have a new helper to knit a few rounds for me:
He came all the way from Kai’s house in Germany this morning, and he’s already making himself at home…
I just hope he’s housetrained.
