You may recall that last year I made a pair of Martina Behm's Tough and Toasty mitts, and followed them up with a pair for my brother in law. I loved my mitts. Unlike most, they barely cover the fingers, which means that I have full use of my hands, but they are surprisingly warm.
It never gets THAT cold in Melbourne anyway. So, I loved the mitts. Two things happened though. I did support for a trail run, and it rained on me, and the mitts got wet and I was banging a tambourine and they felted a bit.
Also, somewhere along the way I lost one. I wasn't too worried though, because the mitts only use a tiny bit of yarn. I used leftovers from my Kildarton cardigan.
I also made a Beeswax hat, so now I can be matchy matchy. I really love this Millpost Merino yarn. These, like the previous pairs were blindingly quick to knit and are such fun to wear.A real winner of a project.
