And they are two of the very few I know that sort of thing about. I deliberately matched the palm of the bigger pair to the fabric of the smaller - sweet, yes? You'd almost think I hadn't run out of fabric from the Fair Isle sweater I used for the backs.
I know who these are going to as well:
This was my personal favourite outer sweater and the lining sweater, which produced a ton of mitts, was the softest. I didn't have to do anything extra to make these look special.
Didn't have to do anything extra for these, either:
What's not to love about a Laura Ashley sweater in wool and silk?
I got a little better at blanket stitch after the first few tries, and eventually I decided to risk doing some in a contrast colour that would show:
Then I got addicted, and added some to this pair that really looked fine without any trim at all:
And finally, the little birdies. I so love how these came out!
I think I made 14 pairs of these this year, with another cut out to sew together later. If I was very very smart, I'd do a few more in January to be ready for next year - it's such a fun project, and so much faster than knitting 20 hats.
