The first of my Friday Inspiration posts as part of the UK Swap.
Until very recently, I’d never knitted mittens. In fact, I’d never really knitted any handwarmers at all, save for a pair of Voodoo Wristwarmers for my sister. So this is a hard topic for me to write an interesting post on.
My first mittens were from the Selbuvotter book:
I used RYC Cashsoft 4ply in cream and black, which makes for nice soft mittens. They are like little works of art and I often just admire and pet them because I can’t quite believe I am so clever to have knitted them. 
I’d like to have the confidence to use interesting combinations of colours in a pair of mittens, other than just black and white. These and these mittens, for example, are beautiful.
Edited because I completely forgot about the Endpaper Mitts I made.
I gave these ones away as a gift, and always intended to knit some more, but never got around to it.

Kate you are so clever, they are lovely!!
They really are little works of art.
Must admit that I also am partial to the black and white theme. We obviously both have impeccable taste!
I love those mittens! I think the black and white is great, I’m very impressed!
The mitten kits are amazing!
Have you seen the Lillyfield mittens yet?

If you can knit Selbuvotter, you could do these as well! Both your mittens and mitts are beautiful!
You should be very proud of those mittens – they look good enough to eat!
I’m so behind in blog reading. Been far too busy with Christmas knitting, unpacking and cleaning. Thought I would drop in (extra early) to wish you a Very MERRY!!
