It was pretty chilly last week in Southern Ontario and since Paisley's in school this year I thought why not knit her some warm mittens and I also needed to live up to my title "Smitten4Mittens". I created my blog nearly 2 years ago and I don't think I've made any mittens since the very first few posts. I was browsing on annypurls blog and noticed that she had recently made mittens for her son. I fell in love with the pattern that sh
e used and had to get it! The pattern is called Target Wave Mittens from Norah Gaughan's Knitting Nature. It was a pretty straight forward pattern to follow and now I'm on a mission to make more. By the suggestion of Rhonda, I did the pattern on 3 1/4 mm needles for a tighter and warmer knit. I did it in the medium size and the fit turned out perfect! Paisley 
would like to give a pair to her cousin Lucas and her best friend Briana for Christmas this year. :-) I hope you enjoy my rather uncooperative model. If you're looking for a super quick knit, this is it! It only took my 2 days to make these babies working on them on and off.It's also time to start another Seamless Yoked Baby Sweater. My sister's due date is appraoching and fast (January 10th).

I happen to adore the model. I think gramma will have to make some to keep around the house too!
I knit ONE of those mittens last year. Maybe it was the yarn I used but I wasn't keen on the pattern so I never knit the 2nd one. Your mittens look wonderful on the adorably sweet model. :)
