Owl Mittens Variation

The graph below can be "dropped in" to the same pattern as the mystery snowman mittens. The actual photo here is the same graph on a larger pair of mittens. I think this one begs for a couple of button eyes, but I haven't gotten around to sewing them on yet.

NOTE- The owl image is offensive or sacred to some cultural groups. Feel free to use this pattern for personal use, but be careful about using it for charity donations.

Done!

My snowmen are done! (Although the yellow set look more like little chicks.)






These were really fun--thanks for the great pattern and KAL, Jean!

Finished Clue 4 - onto 5!

Well, I finished clue 4 on both mittens and was unable to check for the next clue until now. *sigh* I am behind, again!

Well I will do clue 5 tonight if nothing goes wrong. I have been doing laundry all day after getting a late start on the day. I am just about to go do grocery shopping then cook dinner. So perhaps I will be doing clue 5 right after dinner.

Here is a pic of my clue 4:

Lyn's Mystery Mittens

Hi,

Great job with the pattern and this KAL to get me started with the CIC mittens.
Such a fun knit. Lyn

My mittens

Two pair that I've been showing in progress, plus another two-colored pair that was a previous trial run.

I'll put the instructions together in one file and add a couple of other charts within a few days.
