I just wanted to post a quick project note for these mitts, since it's occurred to me that I never did post an "FO report". This picture doesn't really do the steel blue of the kidsilk haze justice, but it's the best I've taken I think--You can actually see the pattern (if you look really closely and squint your left eye just a bit... maybe your right eye too...) I can't tell you enough how much I *heart* the yarns and resulting slightly fuzzy and snug-fitted-ness that they gave these mitts.
This was a pretty quick project. I'm not sure why it took me a month to complete... Actually, I think I was furiously trying to finish Adam's (now frogged) sweater at the time. So, for about 2.5 weeks there, I didn't touch it...
I don't think I need to mention how wonderful this little project is--and that I'm just one of many who will say as much. The pattern is quite simple and the resulting mitts are fun and fashionable. If you've not done colorwork before, I would recommend these for an introduction. They're also a great little project to practice kitchener/tubular caston and bindoff techniques.
