Lookie! I finally finished the mittens I was knitting! They’re no longer thumbless!

They’re from a pattern in One Skein Wonders. The only thing I didn’t like about the pattern is that it used a M1 increase and it left some little holes. Hmph. But I still love them! They’re the first mittens I’ve ever knitted and overall I’m really pleased.

I also nearly finished my Harry Potter Gryffindor scarf last night. I say “nearly” because I ran out of the burnt-sienna colored yarn when making the last few tassels. Argh! So I had to order a whole extra skein of it just to make three more tassels. I finished tassels on one end, though, which you can see in the photo.

I can’t believe how long this scarf is … and SO warm! If you’d like to knit one yourself, this is the (wonderful!) pattern I used.
