Like a Glove

I love two color knitting.
I truly do.
these mittens are way too huge for me, even after washing and scrubbing them in hot water and soap.
but I don't really mind... they were fun to make and someday there will be a guy with warm hands and awesome red mittens.
selbuvotter is a pretty good book for this sort of thing, even coming from someone who owns at least three books with mitten/glove patterns. some of the graphs are a little confusing, but eh.
meanwhile, I'm working on knitting the fingers for a purple on white glove, and then I might knit some thick mittens and embroider them. then maybe a hat. we'll see.
we should also see if beer and embroidery go together. :3
