Mittens and snowflakes

Made myself a pair of thrummed mitts. The yarn used was cascade 220 Heathers in colour 9559 Indigo Frost. Really love the colour of the yarn. They are made so that there is no left or right mitten so that the wool roving will mat evenly in the mitten by switching the mitts between the hands. 

  Sitting beside the mitts is a yarn bowl I received as a gift this Christmas and it will be put to good use come the new year.

This is the 3D snowflakes we made for our church Christmas party and than used to decorate the classroom the following weekend along with a nativity for our Christmas lesson.
