I don’t often get knitted presents from people. I guess they probably figure I could make anything I’d want myself – and I know my mom doesn’t knit for me because she is worried I’ll find and point out any mistakes she has made!
Beautiful Stranded Mittens!
So when I got these beautiful stranded mittens from my friend Katie, I was blown away! She blogged about them here – Falling Leaves Mittens.
Mitten Fronts
When I got them I thought she was using some really gradually variegated yarn, but it’s actually 6 different colors of Knit Picks Palette, used a couple rows at a time. Amazing right?!
I’m pretty scared to wear them out. I’m SO scared I’m going to leave them on the bus, or drop one somewhere. I need like, mitten clips or something! But so far so good, and I wear them EVERYWHERE! I love them, and everyone freaks out when they see them, too!
those are wonderful!

Aww, yay! I’m so glad you love them!
Ps. Feel free to look for mistakes, but I DON’T THINK THERE ARE ANY. Boom!
Pps. Jks, there might be, I don’t remember.
