Today's big project was the
Sharp Diamond Mittens, available for free on Ravelry. It's your basic fair-isle mitten, and is a great starter project. The instructions are clear, except that the pattern needs to be reversed in the second half of each row: The stitches that were pink in the first half are now purple, and vice-versa. I made a few modifications on mine as well. For example, I knit the thumbs solid, because I hate stranding in itty bitty circles. I also kitchner'd the tops together because it was easy enough. I prefer pointier mittens, but I did like the diamond pattern, and wasn't feeling the need to design my own.
They're about 3/4 finished, should be completed entirely tomorrow.
