Notes

I enjoyed this pattern because it has a different approach - First a little tube knit from a provisional cast-on for the thumb to be added later, then Judy’s magic cast-on to begin at the fingertips, finishing up with the 1x1 ribbing for the cuff and a tubular bind off.
2-21: worked up a pair to take tomorrow to Vivian’s sister Juniper who will be 4 years old in April. I love this picture of her, the pink icing (with sprinkles) on the birthday cake she was eating makes her look like she has pretty pink lipstick on her lips.
3-1: and finally, a pair for big brother, 6-year-old Walter. The sweetest boy who, about this new pair of mittens said, “I actually LOVE the colors!”
