Cute, cute, cute! Anything small is just adorable. These are some thumbless mittens I made for a friend of mine who just had her first baby. Totally easy, pretty quick and the yarn was a dream. I did this with Koigu yarn, which is a handpainted yarn spun in small quantities. My master knitter friend, Brooke always supplies me with great patterns. My next project is something I can wear myself, however I am sick of doing socks, scarves and blankets. I am looking to do a modern shaped vest with all the wool I got while I was in Italy. While I was in Umbria, I found a little knit shop. Couldn't speak more than 10 words in Italian but managed to sit and speak with the owners on my many visits. I even had a few conversations with "Mama", someone's mother who just sat in a rocking chair to have company during the day. It always amazes me how language is not necessarily a barrier when people have the same interests. Of course animated body language is a huge plus.
