I've completed the matching mittens for the Húfa hat!
Knitting for small children gives me an enormous sense of accomplishment; I am actually finishing projects left and right. A satisfying, but strange, feeling for a notorious process knitter such as myself.

Finally, my 3 month-long extremely complicated zipper installation is over. [Lappi didn't sit on my to-do pile for 2 months and 29 days] I also made him a hat (the Húfa patt from Lopi 25) using leftover yarn from Lappi. I am making him mittens to match the hat; I'm using the Kríli patt from the same book as a guide.

I have an FO! Teeny little mitts for my toddler. He needed mitts because his new daycare takes the kids outside during the day. I had left all his winter stuff in China because it wouldn't fit in the suitcase and who needs winter clothing at the end of March? Then the plane landed in Detroit practically in the middle of a snowstorm! I will never doubt the power of mother nature (to prove me absolutely wrong) again. Three snowstorms in three weeks. The poor thing had to wear the snowsuit that I had bought for next winter and mitts from last winter. At least these mitts fit.
SPECS:
Pattern: Kríli from Lopi 25. Size 2.
Yarn: Létt Lopi, 1 ball of turquoise I had lying around. (Actually, more like 1/2 to 3/4 of a ball).
Needles: 3.5 mm clover bamboo dpns.
Mods: I tried the Italian tubular cast-on for the first time. I kind
of mangled it, (the result isn't very smooth or flexible) but the
stickiness of this yarn may be partly to blame.
Started: 18 April 2007
Finished: 19 April 2007 (the only reason it took me 2 days was because
I was fending off some kind of cold / flu that made me feel as if I had
just been run over by a truck).
Recipient: My son
