Here is mitten as of today...a 'far cry' from its appearance Sunday morning. I just could hardly put it down!
Except for the name panel, it is the same pattern as Lizbeth Upitis and Schoolhouse Press chose for the KAL. I had thought that it was not my colors, then I realized that it's the same colors I was swatching with in J&S 2 ply Shetland yarn last summer when I was working on my fair isle pattern. The pattern hasn't gotten past inordinate swatching. It's now in hibernation.
For the lettering ("nancy" on the front, "nj" on the back) my trusty celtic lettering was utilized, then tweeked with trusty pencil and graph paper.
Today's predicted storminess may provide more mitten moments.

Okay, what happened to the peach color from prev blog? Altho mitt is obviously very cool (or warm)and, being from kal is another feather in your talented cap! Is it regular hand size and will you make/use a mate for it?
Wow - perky colors! Just right for grey winter weather.
Only 36 days to camp....
Very nice! Love the celtic lettering. It just sets the whole mitten off and makes it unique and wonderful.
The colors seem to blend well and adding the name shows your hidden talents well. Hopefuly no Second Mitten Syndrome- this is one to make and use the pair --your hands will be all is looking at.
No second mitten...it's a nametag for camp. No thumb, either. But thanks, everyone. for great comments so far!
