Notes

1-6-10 My little sister is turning 16 this month… She’s a huge fan of the twilight book series, and has seen the movies so I think these will be perfect.

1-8-10 This yarn is SO wonderful. A huge pleasure to knit with. So far no issues with the pattern. Just got to the first gusset.

1-11-10 So I realize this is practically a sin… but I never make swatches.. and then always regret it. The mittens are coming together nicely, but I should have either doubled up the yarn or knit on larger needles. I still think my sister will love them, they’re just not as bulky as I wanted them to be.

1-12-10 Wet blocking. Just waiting for them to dry!
