Mittens For Cécilia
Today is Cécilia’s birthday and we’re celebrating with an “apero-dinatoire” at her and her cheri’s place. I thought for quite a while about what to get her, and finally decided that I could never go wrong with hand-made mittens.
This pair is a stash-buster project: As a base, I used a thin yarn, 100% wool, in cream, and then doubled it up with leftover yarn from the peach baby sweater (wool) and camel yarn from some fingerless gloves I made for Seth.
The project took about 4 hours (or about 5 episodes of Grey’s Anatomy). I made a quick label with washing instructions and tied it on with more of the peach yarn.

The mittens were a hit, especially the tag with hand-written washing instructions.
I found out that the French call fingerless gloves “mittens,” gloves “gants,” and mittens “moufles.” Confused?
