Well, I finished the Snowflake Mittens! It only took me a few days after Christmas to finish these up, and they get to go off to their new owner this weekend!

  And now I've finished them!

The pattern is one of my own designs - I'm actually -really- happy with how it turned out, and, since it's done in *Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Sport, (the yarn was part of a destash, and I'm absolutely thrilled I got the chance to try some out!), I'm going to write up the pattern and submit it to the Knit Picks Independent Designer Program!   It does involve a tiny amount of crochet (the loops for the button are crochet chain stitch), but, you could easily sew in a snap, or, use a twisted cord, instead!

Yarn is, as mentioned, *Knit Picks Wool of the Andes Sport, in the colourways "Fedora" (now discontinued), and "Oyster Heather", and I'm thrilled I got to use up some stash yarn. I still have more of both colours, so I could even make a second pair for me!

Needles are *Knit Picks 2.5 mm Nickle Plated Circulars and, I feel like I've gushed about these needles enough.  If you want good needles at a decent price, then these will do the job wonderfully!

These have actually been done for a bit, I just neglected to post them until now.  After that, I'm focusing on some commissioned sweaters (and I'm hoping to have some WIP sweater posts for the blog soon!)  

Have you finished a project recently?  Feel free to share them in the Finished Objects channel of the Discord!
