So today I have set about casting on my remaining Christmas projects. This morning I am toddling along on the first of a pair of fingerless mitts (Manly Mitts) intended for my mom. Usually she is the recipient of hand-knit socks, but I knit her the Hedgerow Socks for her birthday, so I wanted to get a little more creative with the gifts this time around. I decided on some black Capra for the mitts, as she tends to only like neutral colors and blue. The yarn has a great hand and stitch definition. I had been wanting to use it for a gift for my mom for some time, but I hadn't ordered from Knit Picks much since the security breach. I'm really glad I did buy it for this project. It is beautiful yarn.
All I have left is to wrap up knitting a hat and cast on for a pair of DK-weight socks and my Christmas knits will be in the bag!
