Christmas In Review: Smitten Too

One of my close friends was bitten by the mitten bug ... she became smitten too when she saw mine (I couldn't resist).







This yarn is so yummy and soft.
For those who want to be in the know:
Copihue (Color 902)
100% Alpaca
I used almost four 48 yd skeins.







I ended up making some modifications to the pattern (which I will share in another post after I finish the pair I'm working on now) - I was so taken with my mittens that I didn't even notice they were a smidge too big until my friend asked for me to 'downsize hers a bit ... love is blind.

I can't imagine how warm and soft those must be with that lovely yarn. Well done!

These are so pretty....I would attach a string to each so they could never, ever be lost. They're too beautiful to go missing. And by the way, I'm still waiting for those Paul Gallico books to come in at our library -- did you check out all of those available on the East coast?
