I've finished two more pairs of mittens recently. This pair is for my little sister. When she saw the rainbow of yarn colors I have to chose from, she asked if I would make her a different-colored pair. So, the rose-colored pair are set aside for a little girl in Moldova.
PATTERN DETAILS
Title: Toasty Knitted Mittens

These mittens are for my little brother, who, in fact, is much bigger
than me. (chuckle) I had to increase the pattern quite a bit so they
would fit his large hands. I was wondering what colors I could mix and
match to create more masculine-looking mittens--it seemed all the
coordinating yarn colors I had were frilly--so I'm glad these turned out
well. =)

Below are my dad's socks which I completed nearly a month ago. They required quite an amount of knitting as they reach the knee. I had never before made gussets nor had shaped a heel, so the first sock was a challenge. Once I got all the details figured out, though, I had so much fun making them! The second sock took only three days to complete. I highly recommend the book I followed (see details below). The precise photos and in-depth instructions were very helpful to me.
