I knitted a pair of mitts.

It'll be a gift to a colleague, whose
office is very cold.
I worked out of that office for a
week recently.
I shivered and shook through all five days.

One slipped on a pair of fingerless
mitts only on
the COLD morning we started work at 5am.
It was store bought, made with acrylic yarn.

I told her I'd knit her a woollen pair.
I'm happy to do this.
Firstly, because she will use it.
Secondly, this will reduce the stash.

The yarn is 100% superwash merino wool,
8 ply.

It's free (thank you!).
I used a thicker yarn than recommended.
Cast-on 41 stitches, 4mm needles.
It took just under 100 grams of yarn to knit up this pair of mitts.
A quick knit, too (for me),....eight hours.

It's a lovely pattern. The picot edging is an elegant detail.
I enjoyed knitting this.
It will be passed on to my colleague later this week.
Hope she'll
like it.
