Tadaaaah Heart Mittens

Winter still hasn't really started. Temperatures are around 10 degrees Celcius, and we've been getting a lot of rain. When cycling to work in the morning, it can be somewhat cold. Full mittens would be too warm, since the cycling will warm me up. That's why I started browsing Ravelry for fingerless mittens. There are so many great designs such as:


I had to start somewhere, so I chose these heart mittens. Because the chart was so small, I made my own chart using excel. You can find it here.

I used 3.5mm double pointed needles. I don't remember the brand of the yarn. Unfortunately W threw out the labels because I had left them lying around... I guess I tought him well! ;)

I bought it at Fadeninsel in Berlin, and I think it might have been some sort of Alpaca blend.
Well, never mind, they feel soft and look gorgeous. They are a bit on the wide side. And I think that next time I might shorten the finger part just a bit.





 When you check out the pattern, you'll see one of my pics on the 1st page! I received a message on ravelry a couple of days ago, asking my permission to put the pic up on the 'details' page. I'm sooo excited! This is my first project which is featured on the project description! Yay! :)
