I’ve decided that today is my second birthday for the year. A parcel magically arrived from a wizard today, with more lovely birthday goodies!
I have new mittens! And I also have the means to knit even more. 
The ready-made ones are knit with Wollmeise 100% wool in unknown colourway (I’ll trawl through their site later to find which one it might be it’s Türkis und Karneol, thanks Cairi!) and fit beautifully. (You could say like a glove. Ha ha ha ha.)
The photo doesn’t do the colours justice; they really are jewel-like.
And I have a gorgeous book full of mittens to knit – Knitting New Mittens and Gloves by Robin Melanson. There are some beauties in there and they’re going to make fantastic presents for people who deserve knitted things. 
Lovely mitts! That wizard is a doll!
I’ve been hankering after this book having seen the review from Grumperina… Is it as nice as she says??
Wonderful Mitts
What a fabulous package! Those mittens fit perfectly. Have fun knitting more!
its Turkis and karneol (that spelling is completely made up by the way but its something like that!!!!) They fit lovely YAY! glad you like them
Oooooh they’re Lovely!
nice gloves and fab book
I just saw a review of it on Grumperina’s blog with some pictures, which ones are you going to knit?
Ooh, those gloves are loverly. Nice knitting from that wizard! And the book looks fun….I’ll have to keep an eye out for that. I’ve been meaning to knit some mitts (in fact, I very nearly made you fingerless mitts with that handspun instead!), but haven’t gotten around to it.
Oooh! Enjoy the book, the patterns in it are fabulous.
And that Wollmeise is gorgeous. *pets it*
(I still have to open IE to post a comment here. Why does it not love my Firefox? ._.)
Beautiful mitts and have to say, amazingly skin ! My arms are covered in freckles and moles – yours almost look like plastic they’re so perfect. *is jealous*
