True to my word, I finished up the second thumb first thing once I settled down to knit. Pair ten is finished.

I immediately CO on the next pair, and just kept knitting. Granted they are small, thumbless mitts for a baby, but I had a small amount of this yarn so it worked out just perfect and Mittnz pair 11 is finished, too! The yarn is home dyed using Wilton's Food Color paste. Wilton's tends to split when you use the mixed colors, like purple, brown, etc. All three colors shown here came from the same dyeing pot with the yarn all put in at the same time. Some of it turns purple, some blue, some blue violet, some more reddish violet, just all kinds of colors. There is a way to prevent it, but, hey, it's so pretty with all the different colors!

Briley's having a contest with some really nifty prizes. Go on over and see if you can Name That Fiber! Oh, and please tell him I sent you!
Great mittnz, Lizzie! Love your multi-colored purple yarn, too.
