Notes
  1. I’ve just started by chosen colours.

  2. Finished first part, knitting the cuff. The first row of rosebuds was hard tofind out how to make. When I made the second row, in the other direction, I saw how they should look like and had to start all over again. Now I’m just a little worried that the mitten will end up to big. I will not be able to change to bigger needles.

  3. Note to myself: never start a Mystery knitting without checking the gauge. This mitten is now grotesque. I need to start all over again with another yarn. These will become cuffs only.

  4. New yarn. New cuffs! This time in the gauge recommended. Made them without the rosebuds to save some time. Need one more colour before I can start part two.

  5. Old cuff and new cuff. Knittet with the same size of needles.

  6. Had a delay since I had to buy a new skein of yarn to get the fifth colour for the mittens. Now I’ve finished part two.

  7. Other side. See above.

  8. Roses in part three done.

  9. Other side. See above.

  10. Part three finished.

  11. Other side. See above.

12 - a year later. My mittens were to big for me. I nerver used them. Until now, when I felted them. Now they fit perfect.
