Boyfriend's Finished Irish Mittens

I finished my first pair of mittens! They went to smoothly, too, aside from I missed a part of the pattern and didn't leave any space between the cuff and thumb gusset. Here's the pattern.


Boyfriend doesn't seem to mind though. They fit him great and look great on him.



Now he has a hat, scarf, and mittens all in the Irish flag colors!


However, it turns out that I still have a ton of orange yarn left. A decent amount of white, too. Unfortunately, I've already put the green into my scrap blanket. So I'm going to pull what I have of the blanket apart, re-ball the green, and make one more Irish project. I think I'm going to try socks, although I've looked at a couple of patterns and they look really confusing. I'm going to keep browsing for a good pattern. I want a magic loop toe up patterns because I want to be able to size it on boyfriend as I go, and I want to learn the magic loop.

Happy knitting!
