the blue blog archives: little big hands

Remember those little (too little!) green and white striped baby mittens I was making for wee one? Last time we checked in on baby's cold hands, I had one little mitten still to rip out and one big mitten all done. Well, finally I've got a finished a pair, but they're all white now.

I love the green stripes and will finish the striped pair, but I felt like the white would go well with everything so I made a plain pair first. I did feel a little stupid after a week when I had one big stripey mitt, one small stripey mitt, and one plain white mitt, and no pair at all. Luckily, it was warm last week! It's not warm anymore, so we'll be having a trial run some morning very soon.

white mittens....goodness, you are BRAVE!
I'd have spilled coffee on them by now....white *anything* at my house is a powerful SPILL magnet.
Still smiling at all of the viking hat pictures....
thanks!

Cute! They look lovely. I need to knit some mittens for my little guy. He gets cold hands at night and the little cotton store bought ones are doing nothing to prevent that.

Isn't it just terrifying how quickly babies get bigger?
