Warm mittens

This wool came as a kit for mittens or socks, from Fleece Artist in Nova Scotia, Canada. I saw the wool from across the store and fell in love with the colour, and decided not to splurge. When I was checking out with something else, I asked about a sample pair of mitts I'd seen -- what were they made of? Well, there was a kit, and only two left ... But really, only one left, and it was the stuff I'd fallen in love with.

This is one strand each of mohair and blue leicester sheep's wool, each skein dyed in four colours in the round, so the colour changes with every stitch. An elegant mitten -- no ribbing at the wrist, just knitting around and around, and at the wrist, the fabric rolls in on itself for a border.

There's a hat almost done, that I've been making up as I got along, and hoping the leftovers don't run out before it'll cover my ears.
