Knitting First, Life Second

Here are my finished Bird-in-hand mittens. Bad pictures, but you get the point. I had to go out and buy embroidery thread to do the detail on the birds. I tried to use the same yarn but my hubby said he couldn't tell what they were. They were kind of muddled. I think they are pretty, they don't feel very roomy in the finger area. I used more of a DK weight yarn, Lamb's Pride superwash. The color is Blaze and it has a heathered look to it in the skein. That's why I liked it. You can't see the heather in the colorwork though. But I like them and will wear them.
