more scandinavian mittens!

The first pair are from Knitting with a Smile a swedish knitting book. Its a beautiful book with many tradtional swedish patterns. I knit them is Briggs and Little, the black is regal and the ecru is tuffy. The second pattern is from Folk Mittens, called Lapland Mittens. The Laplands are the northern most parts of Norway, Sweden and Russia. I used the same black and cream, the purple is called mauve, from Briggs and Little. I feel that the picture doesn't do it much justice. The colors match beautifuly. Both pairs will be christmas presents to family members and friends, or to however calls dibs on them first. Currently they are on display at the Falconer Yarn Loft, my favorite LYS. Jane, the owner, has a large selection of Briggs and Little, Noro, and Debbie Bliss yarns. I can'twait to go there on thursday when I go to my parents house. She said last time she was ordering a large amout of Briggs and LIttle. Woohoo new colors!
