The hat is almost done. It still needs the right button or pin to hold the one side of the hat up. Right now it is a strait pin. The curls worked well, I am quite pleased with them. Ocean is a very hard colour of wool to take pictures of. I hope these pictures give you a good idea of what it looks like.

Mittens
I am teaching mittens next year at my guild. I haven’t made any in a long time so I have been working on some mittens for my grandson. Here you can see where I was enlarging the pattern. They look huge. I did add extra in the middle because it is easer to cut off some at the wrist then not have enough and try to add. Do you like my sheep duct tape?
I used a small piece of plastic to keep the thumb wool separate. They can so easily get all tangled with the wool from the finger part.
Here is it flipped over and ready for the second side.
And here they are on my grandson. He was a moving target.
I had planed on adding some trim to thread an elastic and tightener thingy but they seem to fit him well and don’t fall off. I will add some more detail to the car. I know he likes them because we couldn’t get him to stand still. He was dancing all over with them.
Have you made anything for winter Yet?
