Here is a photo of my favorite pair of mittens made from Classic Elite Tapestry (a wool/mohair blend with a lot of shine) and the Year of Mittens pattern book. The main pattern is the ear of corn pattern and the hem was from a different month. I gave these mittens to my friend Sam in Colorado who uses them to take her blind dog on his nightly walks.
I am still working on the Sirdal cardigan and have ordered the Norwegian braid and buttons. I'm near the collar and it is slow going because I'm finding it annoying. The Nature Spun yarn has too many knots, the Addi Turbo needles are too slippery, and I'm not sure if I like the pattern anymore. I really think my bad attitude is because I'm working on one project exclusively which is not my preference. I think I may actually be more productive by working on several projects simultaneously. Perhaps I'll get back to work on the second cashmere mitten today.
