Notes

What an astounding pair of mittens (as opposed to practical :) ) They will make any woman a lady not only because of the way you’ll look, but mostly because you definitely won’t go open that car door by yourself. Or carry things. What, in such a lace? No way, the lady’s got a man!

Chose Plotulopi for the base because it is my favorite of wools.
Chose DROPS Lace for the top because it is soft and has a nice stitch definition, yet will be stronger than eg. Rowan lace, due to silk content.

Ceramic buttons handmade in Paris <3

Lillies of the Valley were my favorite flowers when I was a child, and I keep loving them now. They start blooming when I celebrate my birthday each year, but from now, I can enjoy a much longer Lilly of the Valley season! These flowers, just like the Violets in the fairytale 12 месяцев, can be picked up right from the snow…

I was astounded by the detail and precision of the pattern. What a value you get with it! Not only a perfectly clear description on how to make heavenly winter mittens (all patterns should be written like that!). A lot more… Some ideas you read from the pattern are universal and will be handy in the future, too.
