Wacky Indeed

A picture of many colors proclaims images of many thoughts. 

-Donna A. Favors

It's a good thing I have tiny hands, or I'd be inclined to keep these mittens for myself. I am totally in love,* with the colors, the snowflakes, and the awesome twist on a very traditional mitten pattern.

Wacky Selbu Mittens

Pattern: Selbu Mittens from Folk Mittens (check for errata!) with color idea stolen from Leigh

Yarn: Noro Kureyon, about 1.5 balls for the background, and Patons Classic Merino in Winter White, about 1/2 ball for the foreground

Needles: US 3

Notes: See the errata! But now that I've figured it out, I do like the Norwegian thumb gore. It's a combination gored thumb and peasant thumb that I can see having many applications in stranded patterns, and fits better than a standard peasant thumb.

Best Thing About This Project: The wacky colors.

*Yes, I've been in love with all of my knitting lately, why do you ask?
