My Year of Mittens!

I finished off my 2019 knitting goal just in time! Twelve pairs of mittens!


I ended up having to stop blogging about this project since some of them were secret gifts! But now they're all done and here's the round-up of all 12 pairs. With ravelry links if you want details!

What a fun project this was! I met my goal of 12 pairs, although I didn't knit everything on my dream list. I got a lot more practice in stranded colorwork and I'm feeling pretty confident there!

I also made up the patterns for several of these, a few of which I might write down nicely and put up for free on ravelry.

I'm not sure what's next for me, but I already miss having a mitten always going! They are such handy little projects (pun intended!).
