Victoria Fingerless Mittens II & III

I don't usually do commissions. In fact, I don't think that I ever have. Sure, there have been the requested gifts from family members. But that was more like me asking what they would like me to knit for them for Christmas. But this was a true commission. I must of been in a particularly good mood that morning. One of my co-workers. Tina, saw Haley's Fingerless Mittens and asked if I could make her two pairs. She has a couple of cutie granddaughters with birthdays coming up soon. Then I found out soon was this Sunday. At least they are an easy knit.Tina provided the yarn. Yummy, butter colored cotton from Sweden. Safari, Mjukt Bomullsgarn for Stickning. That means Soft Cotton for Knitting. Did I tell you that Tina is from Sweden? One of my hand model's mom is from Sweden, too. Maybe I should have Swedish Meatballs for dinner?This picture makes me think about making some BFF sets for Haley and her friends. I'll have to use a different pattern. I'm a little tired of this one and there are way to many neat patterns to settle on one.

You're right, there are SO many neat patterns out there. With all the choices you have, you could outfit an army.

The girls look so happy with their pretty little mitts. Great job!
