Fun With Fair Isle
Let a joy keep you. Reach out your hands and take it when it runs by.

The Christmas basket is finally getting some love. Check out these mittens.
That wasn't enough, was it?
Hallard MittensPattern: from Folk Mittens
Yarn: Cascade 220 - delightful. I have bunches more. More mittens, perhaps?
Needles: US 3 Brittany Birch dpns
Notes: The only real modification I made was to use the same pattern on both cuffs instead of corrugated ribbing on the left cuff. A delightful pattern.
Best Thing About This Project: The initials on the right cuff. But I can't show you them, can I?
I loved making these mittens so much that I went ahead and got ready to start not one, not two, but three new stranded knitting projects. And, yes, one of them is mittens. 
Oops!

Gorgeous. They will make a very special gift. Three cheers for Cascade 220!
Beautiful mittens! I've been bitten by that bug, myself.
I have that book and have yet to knit any mittens from it! Cascade 220? I have yards of that hanging around.....hmmmmmmmmm.... NO! November is for sweaters!
Oooo - beautiful!! - and from my favorite mitten book too. I haven't made this pair yet, but will soon after seeing yours!!
My Christmas basket is starting to get jealous of your Christmas basket!
Very pretty mittens!
Those are great mittens! You are very generous with your Christmas gifts!
Gorgeous mittens! Stranded knitting has been calling me, but I must finish the sweaters first!
They're beautiful, Theresa. As you might guess from my blog, I LOVE mittens. Someone will be glad and lucky to get these!
Beautiful mittens! That's one of my favorite mitten patterns. Don't you just love that book??? It has some really nice patterns in it. I can't wait to see the new stranded projects!!
Fabulous mittens! Fair Isle style knitting is addicting!
I always say I want to knit Fair Isle, but I never have. Maybe I should start with mittens. These are great!
Those are so cute! Yay for stranded knitting!
Great mittens! I haven't tried stranded knitting yet, but I'm thinking perhaps soon I may. A baby project, perhaps?
I can't wait to see your new projects! They look very colorful.
