Not a finished Bohus, but still something finished...

I've been putting most of my knitting attention toward finishing my Grey Mist Bohus in time to actually wear it a few times this winter, which means not casting on any new projects, and finishing the other ones that are on the needles. 

One of those WIPs was the Hansel mittens I was designing to go with my Gretel hat.

I finished them last night and rather like them.  They look better on my hands because the cable stretches out--I forgot about my camera timer when I was taking these and now there isn't enough daylight.

 

I used the other ball of Foxhill Farms Cormo I bought at Rhinebeck this year and have enough leftover for a little neck warmer or headband (I feel so matchy). They are nice and warm on a mild winter day and the yarn is nice and soft.

The only tough part of the design was figuring out how to decrease for the top and a bit of thought was needed to deal with cables that don't run the round of the mitten, but all in all it was fun to design a little something.

I have the pattern written up and am considering doing a charted version to sell or share (probably sell--that chart is going to take some time to do).  I even had the cables cross in opposite directions on each mitten.

Now I'm just down to socks and Bohus.

The mittens look great, and I'm impressed with the stairs! I've wanted to redo mine for EVER (since we moved in, actually), but since they're plywood with carpet over it, and a hideous 1970's railing, it's a big, big job. I want to pull up the carpet, put in wood treads and risers, replace the entire banister...yeah. Yours are looking fantastic, though. Looking forward to seeing the "after".

Those are great!

The mittens look really nice. I'd be selling the pattern if I were you too! There are enough free patterns out there if someone really can't be bothered to give someone a few dollars for a pattern.

Those are cool.

I'd buy the pattern.
