Oopsie Snowman Mittens

Most of the knitting I did for Christmas took place in December, with the exception of a hat and a pair of slipper socks. I knew what I was going to make, I just kept working on things that I wanted to make. When it came down to the wire, I got it all done. Some of it is just less than perfect. Take, for instance, these mittens

Cute little snowman and the recipient, Phin, loves them. One little problem - I knit two right handed mittens for him. I discovered my mistake when I went to put the thumbs on them and realized they both had the thumb hole in the same spot. I do have another skein of yarn and will eventually get around to making 2 left handed mittens for Phin. There's no hurry, he likes that one mitten has a snowman that can wave bye-bye to everyone.

He was a little shocked when cold wet snow soaked through the mittens. These were made with the same 100% merino superwash wool that the Turtle Thorpe was made from. You can find out more on the Ravelry Project page for Snowy Wishes.
