Sorry about the long time no finished. But I forgot that I had finished anything, until I realized that I had these. These are the Oak Grove Mitts by Alana Dakos, and this is what I gotta say about them:
I got this yarn in exchange for a test knit. The color saturation was really nice. Exactly what I wanted, as the sunlit amber demonstrated would be too orange for me, and I look beastly in anything with an orange hue. The pattern kept me on my toes. I must confess that I experienced a bit of second mitt syndrome. But I am glad I did it. I had a bit of a looser gauge with the second mitt and I had a better leaf due to it. I only regret that my pics aren’t nicer because my husband isn’t really down with taking pics of me in knitted items, and it is really hard to take pics facing down of yourself in mittens.
