I received my prize for being the first one to finish up the mittens for the Mystery Mitten KAL. It's a skein of Malabrigo. I chose this yarn because it gets so much hype on knitting groups. I was sort of disappointed. Yes, it is a nice, soft 100% Merino yarn.... But it's not

Today is working on Mittnz.
