Handspun Morning Mitts (or mitt for now)...

Last night I sat down at the spinning wheel and worked on my fiber from Northern Lights Fiber Co.  It is just beautiful with its shades of orange, purple, red and rust.  I can't wait for the final product to be done.  I was so inspired by spinning my own yarn that I decided to wait no more and cast on a project with the yarn that I showcased in my last post.  I opened a brand new book up called The Knitter's Book of Yarn and immediately found a fingerless mitt pattern that would work.  It is a simple K2, P1 rib with a thumb.  It called out to me to be done on smaller needles.  I adjusted.  It worked and walla, a fingerless mitt was born.  Now I say a mitt was born because it's twin still has yet to make it's appearance.  I hope to knit it up tonight.
