Checkout my new bus knitting bag - cute huh =)
Just the perfect size - small enough to tuck into my handbag, big enough to carry my Shedir hat. Or some kiddy mitts. Those there are my latest pair - the rainbow twist mittens. The yarn is a rainbow acrylic I bought somewhere in the Netherlands when I was living there, and I used the Blue Mittens pattern from the Lincraft baby book, with a twist stitch (knit into theback of every second row) in the place of the usual stocking stitch.
These guys are also knit using the Blue Mittens pattern, and the squirrels taken from the Squirrelly Swedish mittens (ooooh love those squirrelly mitts!)
The Blue Mittens are a really quick knit - between bus knitting and a little finishing in front of the TV I can get a pair done in two days =)
And, as you can see from these two pairs, because they're so simple they're proving to be a great canvas for modifications - I'm enjoying trying out some new stitch patterns and picture knits to make each pair unique =)
besos =)

Scrumptious mittens to go with the cutest bag. :)
