Once finished, they (sort of) fit me:
After a ride in the washing machine in hot water:
I had a feeling that they were still too big.They dried; I knitted cuffs on them:
I am happy with the finished product- they're beautiful, screaming pink! mittens. The fabric is, well, felt. I love felt- it makes me think of elves, and I find elves amusing (think The Elves and the Shoemaker, not so much Santa's elves). I asked her to try them on, and she agreed. Too big? I asked. "Too big for me, Mama." Obviously the Lou will not be wearing them this winter. I'll put them away.
So now: take 2? Or head to Target? We shall see....

Cute mits! By the way, Deedee saw the scarf you made for me and she wants one. No matter what the price tag. Seriously, she says she will pay you for it!!
You are so talented, sister dear!
Really? I can make one for Deedee...that's no trouble. She will just need to pick out colors. :)
