Mittens!

So I'd been looking for a quick simple pattern for mittens to knit up this autumn for myself, and probably some for friends / sisters too.
found from ravelry 'Cupcake Mittlets' by Shantha Ramachandran
I'm in LOVE with them!! a great size for an average girl, warm enough, using 8ply wool (so you have a great variety of wool to choose from!)
I've so far knit just one, the leftie one, so i'm onto the righty right now! I used cleckheaton country silk 8 ply, in green, and its just great! i'd love to actually try a mohair blend for my next pair.
Thanks very much Shantha!! its a GREAT pattern!

Welome!!!

Hi!
Although I'm sure no one will be reading this yet, here's my new blog! I've been meaning to start a blog for years - but have never got around to it, until now, while I'm home in bed, sick with the flu.
A bit about me!
I am into photography, any sort of outdoorsy things, and knitting.
yup.
this blog will be a mix of pretty much all of that!
