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!

As I type this I hear the first roll of thunder for the spring season. We're supposed to have thunderstorms most of the night, possibly severe. Welcome spring in the midwest! No flowers yet though.
Your hat and mittens turned out great. I like the hearts on both projects. Any shamrocks for March? :-)
Blessings and hugs,
Betsy
You've got a lot coming up already!
Your heart mittens and hat are both darling. They would make fun Valentine's gifts.
Very cute knits--and I love the flowers for you!
