Pattern: Two-Tone Mitts!

I’ve got an early Christmas Present for you!  A super cute (if I say so myself) and super quick pattern for those last few people still waiting for gifts.

Two-Tone Mitts!img_4346These simple fingerless mitts are shockingly fast to knit up, really cute, and surprisingly flattering.  The minimalist design means that they look just as good on men and women, young or old.  Knit up a pair in your dad’s favorite team colors.  Or make some for your niece’s new school.  Or maybe you have an aunt who loves a particular shade of blue.img_4362These mitts are surprisingly thick and warm, knit with Knit Picks’ Swish, and they’re machine washable (important for gloves- or at least important for my gloves. I always manage to spill my coffee everywhere).  But, if you don’t have Swish in your stash, any firm worsted or DK weight yarn should do the trick.

Inspiration: Happy Birthday to Me!

Happy Martin Luther King Day!

Also, happy Allison’s birthday!

When I was a kid, it was extra exciting when my birthday landed on MLK day, because it meant that I got a day off school especially for my birthday.  As a grown-up, it’s less exciting since my routine doesn’t really change.

But, it’s still my birthday, so let’s have some birthday cake!
