I wish I had remained in the Twilight regarding this film...except for the mittens, of course.

I'm finally getting around to posting those Bella Swan inspired mittens I made as a birthday gift for a friend. I think they came out beyond splendid (as I've already started making another pair and have one mitten done and a second cast on in this amazing bluish gray yarn) and I'm pretty sure they were a well-liked gift.I'm hoping to make a pair for myself and some others, but I'll have to be patient as I don't think many of the yarns in my stash will be the perfect match for these amazing cabled mitts. It's all in the yarn kittens, all in the yarn.I'm quite pleased with how well the yarn took the horseshoe like cable since it was a tweed yarn, but it's not distracting at all. What's more, the ribbing at the top gives them this really cool stretch. Golf freaking claps to the designer, Subliminal Rabbit, for creating the pattern for these glorious mitts. Golf freaking claps.On a side note: my friend Esteban Miguel and I went to see the Twilight film this past Friday (of which I'd read the book in a mere 1-2 days flat right before so I'd have reference point and wouldn't be in the dark) and we were morbidly (no pun intended) disappointed. Overacting, scary blood red lips on a one Robert Pattinson as Edward Cullen, subsequent brooding and angsty emo-esqueness of Robert Pattison as Edward Cullen, and generally poor cinematography and screenwriting. Boosies. The film's highlight? A laughing lady in front of us, a knitting movie goer next to (really? please. It's a movie!) and of course, when Bella Swan's mittens made an appearance. Just sayin'...Naturally, I had to be all goofy and try them on all different ways and no hows and go nuts. Because, welp, who wouldn't want to, really?
