On the Needles Friday 24July 2015

I finished the lining of stripey mitten number one!

  I love it so much!  The pattern is Michelle's Mittens.  The yarn is Trailing Clouds Nimbus self Striping sock, in a colorway called Mind the Gap.  The lining is Cascade 220 superwash.  I can't believe the thrill this mitten gives me.  Now I need to finish its mate so I can wear them when winter comes.

Also, I have been working on my Kleio.  My friend Paula gave me a shawl pin for my birthday, and I think they will be a match made in heaven...

Linking up with Patchwork Times for on the Needles Friday.

That is a fabulous mitten. Love the stripping it's doing. I've never heard of lining hand knitted wool mittens. What a beautiful shawl pin. I love the shape and color of the wood.
