FO: Fiddlehead Mittens
Finished! I love these! As soon as Adrian makes the pattern available, you must all make a pair. I test knit these for her in a commercially available yarn, Berrocco’s, Ultra Alpaca Light. Which is lovely, just like it’s heavier version, Ultra Alpaca, which I used to knit my Aftur Sweater, except it doesn’t come in as many colors, but we can hope!
I used Kidsilk Haze for the lining, held doubled, on US 3 needles, and people it is SO soft and SO fluffy, I want to knit a cocoon of it and hibernate until spring.
My favorite thing is the way it lays inside the mitten, a lovely peek of a perfect limey green.
Some more specs:

WOW!!! Those are GORGEOUS!!! Love them!! The Kidsilk Haze was an ingenious touch that makes these look so “expensive” as Tim Gunn would say :O)
So nice! Totally missed getting a kit the other day from Adrian – but I think I can make due with just the pattern if need be
They are absolutely beautiful. When they are made available, I may have to get over my colourwork fear to knit these. Simply gorgeous
Just go pretty! I can almost feel that lining on my hands….sigh. Beautiful work.
They are fantastic!
Beautiful mittens, Julia!
those are just gorgeous!
Nice!
I love them! I cannot WAIT to make them.
So cute! The green peeking through at the cuff is such a wonderful little accent.
Good lord, those are beautiful! I like the green Kidsilk Haze lining; the color pops next to the blues and red. It’s the perfect touch. And I cannot wait for Adrian to make the pattern available. It’s lovely!
The mittens are just fabulous–I just love them.
oooooohhhhh, LOVE the liners (and the mittens are stunning)
OMG! They are dropped dead gorgeous! I am dying for a pair of these but will have to wait until a) a miracle occurs and I score a kit or b) The pattern becomes
available to the public using the commercial yarns.
Fingers crossed that it will be soon! Hey maybe you c
can partner up and help her spin and sell some of the yarn:)
omg! they are incredible. the pattern and the colours and the lining – just stunning alltogether.
They look amazing! I can’t wait for the pattern to come out…I totally missed out on the kits, but seeing how nice they look in commercially available yarn makes me want to come up with a colorway of my own.
I love that green contrast with all the blue too! Beautiful.
I [heart] your fiddlehead mittens.
Goodness! Be still my heart those are gorgeous!
So pretty!
Glorious, glorious mitts. I am particularly partial to the lining.
Lordy, these are fabulous! The contrast color in the lining might be my favorite part.
So delighful!
Ooh, those are really nice. I love the way the lining just makes them so much more comfy looking!
Love them! Especially the lining.
Fierce!
How much Haze did you use?
