FO's and guild presents!
I have a FO! WOW! And it's a moldy oldy too!
Yes, they are done. I made one mitt I think last year. I made it's companion this weekend. Now I realize why you should just suck it up and do both at the same time or right after each other. My gauge was OFF! Wooo wee. But it was an easy fix.
Specs
Yarn: Reynolds Odyssey
Needles: US 10 1/2 and US 9
Pattern: Rowan (I forget the name of them)
I gave them to Mia. It was her birthday. I think she liked them.
Okay, so my guild had their annual gift exchange. All can be revealed:
Look at all the beautiful handmade lovlies! I made the purple rolled up scarf in the middle. I received the "glittens" right next to the scarf. I was so looking forward to this. I love seeing what everyone made! It was another successful year!
Here is the recipient of my scarf
Her name is Anna, I think she likes it.

Oooh, those are some pretty things! I really like the moldy oldies. Folks around here ask for a pattern for gliddens (though they don't call them that, they want them for hunters they know). I figure anybody who can make mittens and also gloves could figure it out.

A fiber crafty gift exchange is genius! You are always doing the coolest stuff. And you are involved in quite a few exchanges, I've noticed. You really know how to share the goodness.

I think they're the Eowyn from Rowan #38, aren't they? I made some for me AND my best friend last year, such a cute pattern. I love yours, so so pretty!! xx
