On a chilly day not long ago, Ben sprang it on me.
"I need some mittens. Will you make me some mittens?"
It's knitter's dream come true! A real request for mittens! In the dead of winter! From someone who will actually wear handknits!!
So I knit mittens.
I checked my colors with Ben - he asked for all black, but that's beyond me. I had to add a glintof silver at least. And the stylish and adaptable Cloisonee had just been released, so what a natural thing for me to just knit right into it.
They were quick. Easy. I had some trouble getting gauge with my needles, but otherwise these were a breeze.
I was so excited to hand them to Ben.
"Oh."
He said.
"I thought they'd be more like gloves."
Lol! Oh Ben! They look great!

How can mittens be like gloves? O.o
I prefer these, my fingers always freeze in gloves.
