fiddleheads for a friend

Every March my knitting group, the Spiders, has a little party and hand-knits swap. This was the fifth year of this event and it was decided that mitts would be the swap object of choice. This was great news for me because it meant I got to re-knit one of my favorite knits of all time: the Fiddlehead Mittens.

Pattern: Fiddlehead Mittens
Yarn: Frog Tree Alpaca in Grey, Ivory and a nice bright orange (lining)
Needles: US4 DPNs

These went to Katy. And yes, I handed them over—though it wasn't easy! These are sooooft and super warm with that double layer of alpaca.  I somehow knit the second one slightly smaller than the first, but I blocked it as best I could and that seemed to help. In any case, Katy liked them, as did the other Spiders, so I will still call them a success. Plus, they're so soft. And warm... I love these mittens!!

i've seen a few of these mittens in person, and they are always worthy of oohs and ahhs. i am totally jealous, and still can't get up the nerve to do it. this is the year of the sock for me, so first that and maybe then fiddle heads!

p.s. why the name i wonder? i just cooked with fiddlehead mushrooms. they are green and snail like looking.
