First time using a pattern. These and the mittens were made for my newborn baby nephew.

Thumbless mittens.
I just CO 8x4, I think.

I also kind-of-sort-of knit Foliage (from knitty), but the Alpaca yarn doesn't really show the texture well, and I blocked it on a dinner plate which gave it a beret-like shape? I gave it to my mom though, and she loves it.


It was such a learning project. I've never touched anything like lace, but I've just cast on for Liesel!
It's kind of cool because I'm just now starting to understand simple lace and it's awesommmmeeee. So much fun!













hahah. I feel your pain, though. I think you did a great job to correct it.
It looks so neatly done!
