Red Pear Mitts

Here's my Mitts finally! Oops. Did I say Mitts? I haven't been able to finish the 3rd mitt...and the 2nd mitt is too tight so I left off the thumb in case I didn't have enough yarn for 2 pairs. So these really can't be my Valentine Mitts...I didn't get to wear them today. And I could have used them. It's been chilly here (and yes I realize that somewhere in the 40's isn't chilly for many of you...but I don't have lots of winter clothes.) Without further a due....

My Fishtail Wristwarmers are on ravelry here.

I used yarn from Scout's Swag Sock Yarn Club. It's the December Shipment. I love it.

I think my favorite part of these mitts is the little braid the BO makes.


A thoroughly enjoyable knit. And it's good that it is since my gauge changed so much between the first and the second. Now, I realize that I can't even begin to deserve a single vote, but I'm linking anyways because I want a placeholder for later.

Please vote even if you didn't knit a pair of mitts yourself. Vote in the comments of the Valentine Mitt Post or email me if you'd rather. This was fun. Even if I can't keep my own deadlines. Good luck to the mitt knitters...you've got good odds of winning a prize. ;0)

PS...thanks to my FIL for the photos.

I haven't visited your blog since it was still titled 5,3 & 1. How fun to see that they are 7, 5 & 3.
Mine are now 8, 6, & 4 and it freaks me out to have them be so old. Since last visiting your blog, I became a crocheter. :) I have a new appreciation for what you've posted!!!
