I finally finished these mittens after making two right handed mittens! This pattern is a bit challenging. They are knit in the flat and need to sewn together at the end. I think though doing a flat mitten made the colorwork much easier. The original pattern is very feminine with a ruffled cuff. Since I was making these for a little boy, I changed to the plain cuff.
This hat is knit in the round and a bit challenging. It turned out larger that I expected, so it will be donated. As you can see, I have lots of red projects, thanks to my online purchase of 3 skeins each of red and white ones! Thankfully, there's only 1 green skein!

I don't know how much longer anyone around will be wearing hats or mittens because we are seeing lots of signs of spring in our neighborhood. Some trees are starting to bud out, and we
have Lenten Roses in our yard as well as crocuses and daffodils!
HAPPY SPRING!
And in this photo, you can see some primroses!
