Halland Mittens



Last night I finished Melissa's mittens! :) This pattern came from Folk Mittens and is based on the logging jerseys of the Halland area of Sweden. They were knit from Lamb's Pride worsted on size 3 dpn's. I altered the cuffs to insert her initials and the year (they ARE legal because I finished the 2007 one while it was still 2007!). I am pleased with the way they turned out although I am not crazy about set in thumbs. I'd much rather knit around a gusset for thumbs. And just in time because it has been bitterly cold here and it snowed again last night. I will give these to her tonight! :)
