Color work mitten finished

Here is the result of color work mitten that I had been working on for about a week and half. I spent every couple minutes here and there possible and couple of hours at night after my son went to bed. So yes, it did take a long time to knit up one hand but I knitted the other in half the time since my memory was so fresh. 

I found the pattern on ravelry but here is the authors link:

She has very cute advent calendar mitten patterns as well. Unfortunately I didn't find this early enough to start working on that, but maybe next year. 

Photo above is before blocking mittens. I have couple of spots where you can see its tight and puckered up so hopefully soaking and blocking will help. 

New project

November past pretty fast despite the fact of my hubby being away for almost whole month (he was only with us for about a week and a bit), I kept myself busy enough with knitting and other fibre arts projects. I have made total of 3 thrummed mitts and they were all gone at the guild Christmas sale. This winter has been super mild for northern BC but I have been enjoying it. My 2 year old has been getting good at playing Lego by himself or play with action figures that those time allows me to work on extra things except for house work;P 

Here is my latest project that I am working on.

It is Latvian inspired color work gloves if I successfully complete... I mean, I already spent about 4hours or more to get here and it is not even half of one hand... The pattern is really pretty though and I bought myself chiaogoo knitting needles (size 1; 2mm) which is working pretty good. I am not sure if I should have bought smaller cable to knit round but I usually prefer magic loop so I am trying with that method this time. Hopefully I can finish one hand by this weekend;)
