Taaa-daaa. I made my first mitten. It is getting more and more difficult to find nice wool mittens. After longing for a pair of my grandmother's mittens, I took matters into my own hands. I wanted a pair of mittens that had right and left hands and that looked like the ones my grandmother made. I found a pattern that looked just about as good as I could hope for. The knitting went fairly easily considering that I had never made a mitten. There are some flaws but I think that I will improve as I knit more mittens. One of our sons saw my mitten and tried it on. He thinks it would need to be just a little wider for him. He thinks I ought to make him a pair to go inside his chopper mitts.
I set my sweater vest aside so I could make my mittens. The sweater vest is nice to have but the mittens are a necessity.

They look flawless to me.
Looks like a fine mitten to me.
I made a sock once. Just one.
Now I can say it is something I can do, but I just got so fed up of the fine wool and the teeny tiny needles that I hadn't the heart to start the 2nd one
