We have had more sickness in our house than I care to think about. I am not exaggerating when I say we've left the house maybe 5 times in the last month! Please tell me Spring is coming soon!
So, something that makes me happy -
My first set of oven mitts are done! They were fun to do, a little tricky but a satisfying project. A bonus- They really work! I tried them! My digits were cozy and safe!
At first they looked like this - blurry and boring.
So I decided to add a little embellishment to spice it up a little. The flower is a little big for the size of the mitt but I think it worked out.
Oh, and don't forget the trivet! I actually didn't know these were called trivets until I got this pattern. I thought it was just another hot pad!
After felting, I had a really hard time blocking this into an actual square. Looks a little off, doesn't it? Oh, well.These mitts are resting nicely in someone else's kitchen. Hope her fingers stay happy and safe!
Next pair are going to be for my mother-in-law! At her house on Monday I burned my hand three times during one Papa Murphy's pizza baking. Ridiculous! Pair after that? MINE!

How do you felt something? Dumb question I know, but I love the look and have no idea how. These are fabulous! I want a pair!
Those are awesome! I'm so impressed. More snow is coming, can you make me some before spring?
