Merry Mittens

Project Codename: Mittmas
Yarn: Knitpicks Shine Worsted, Grass and Seaspray
Pattern: Standard Mitten from the Knitter's Handy Book of Patterns
Needles: Size 2 dpns


I wanted to have these done for Christmas, but, well, that didn't happen. However, I did get extensive practice knitting jogless stripes, so I still consider it a success.
