Mittens in May

It's May, and finally trees are getting 

that beautiful green, promising shade. 

In spite of the season, I have cast on a new pair of mittens. 

Colours inspired by spring, though. 

(Some left over Kauni Rainbow yarn.) 

The mittens are for the Projo Mittenalong on Facebook, 

that I recently joined. Ravelry project page here.

It's a Drops pattern: Mittens with pattern in Fabel and Delight

(what yo see is what you get, 

Drops patterns have such boring names...)

I'm omitting the patterned cuff, working a 2x2 ribbing. 

I'm working the ribbing flat, as you can see. 

I often do that, mostly because I'm lazy,

but also because I think my ribbings 

are often prettier when worked flat. 

Here's a lonely, lost mitten I found on my Sunday walk the other day. 

Happy spring knitting, everyone!

If I were not busy with too many projects, 

I would have joined Pinneguri's girl dress KAL.

But there is a secret test knit I have to finish (nearly there), 

then there is another secret project, my own, new sweater design, 

that I don't think you'll be seeing in a few months, 

so just forget I told you. 

Then there is a half finished girl tunic already, 

so casting on another would not be the best idea. 

Then I have to swatch for my Blomekrans sweater, 

and the KAL starting on in less than a week. 

Busy, busy...
