Sink your teeth into these...

A friend of mine who recently visited Iceland brought me back some brilliant Lopi Yarn which I immediately drooled over and contemplated a proper project for. It's this brilliant brick reddish colorway, with hints of pomegranate type pink and flecks of blue and yellow, making it a splendid tweed.And of course, though I have not read the books nor seen the film, I found these mittens apparently worn by Bella in the Twilight films to be absolutely delicious, that I picked them as a project for this hinterland yarn. It's a pretty simple ribbing and cable pattern and I've completed the entire arm and most of the gusset of the left hand mitt in barely a day, so I'm confident these will be finished stat.I'm pretty sure I'll gift them to my friend for her upcoming birthday, but shh, don't tell her. I won't post any photos of the mittens as yet so the gift isn't a total giveaway. But I'll be sure to take photos of them once they are complete and gifted out.What's more, I plan on making more of these in different yarns for different effects, and I'm actually quite pleased with how high up the arm these mittens go--ensuring warmth for this weekend's upcoming bitter blast.
