Bright Mittens and a Farrow Rib Scarf





Another project, quickly finished.
Malabrigo mittens, in the color Molly, for my daughter:

Pattern: Breathe Deep (from Through the Loops)
Needles: size 7

This is a fun pattern and it works up very quickly. I ended up having blocking issues with the Malabrigo, though. The mittens really stretched when they got wet, and I had to throw them in the dryer with some damp towels to get them back into proportion. I don't think I can get away with that again, so I'm not sure how I will wash them next time.










And here is more Malabrigo, in Emerald. I am making a farrow rib scarf for my husband. So simple, and so soft! Still, even though it's only been on the needles a few days, I feel like it's dragging. I tend to have this issue with scarves, which is why we don't have more in the family winter accessories basket.
