They’re finally finished! I have a matching pair of Lingonberry Frostvirka mittens!!
Man am I happy to get these off the hook, they might be the most stressful project I’ve ever made. Crochet is meant to be the opposite of stressful!
But they’re done now and they do look pretty, so it’s still a win.
I’m looking forward to handing them over to their new owner. She asked for mittens, but didn’t specify colour or style, and I’ve kept them secret (she doesn’t read my blog) so they’re still going to be a surprise. I love giving surprises!
If anyone’s interested, I made these using Women’s Institute Soft & Silky in Amethyst and Cream. A gorgeous colour combo if I do say so myself.
Now, on to the next Christmas present!

The thumbs of mittens are fiddley. That is why I tend to stick with fingerless ones. Oh, can you imagine the stress of doing 4 fingers and a thumb for gloves! ahhh!

I’ve never thought crochet was the opposite of stressful. I’m always in full fight with my crochet. LOL

Haha it was definitely like that with these troublemakers! Time for a nice mindless granny blanket I think to balance it out

Gorgeous mitts, Hannah! I can’t believe how wonderful that texture and pattern are (and I always struggle with thumbs, too). I’m sure the recipient of mitts will love and cherish them. Thanks for the bit of Handel’s musical uplift, too – absolutely fitting for this stunning FO and put a smile on my face. š

That pattern is the whole reason I chose them, and what kept me going when I was cross with them! It’s such a lovely texture.
I’m glad you enjoyed a bit of Hallelujah. It always makes me feel good

Yay congrats on the finish they are really pretty! Never done crochet mittens but knitted ones are also so fiddly when you get to the fingers. Iām sure the recipient will love them

I’m not sure I’ll ever tackle knitted gloves, unless they’re fingerless! I’m stressed just thinking about it š
