Herringbone mittens

My sister was born in February, which is a good time of the year to born for those who have a knitter sister. There are countless options for knitting gifts.   

This year, I chose to knit a mitten. 

Herringbone mitten. What a great pattern!

Unused yarn running at the back is 3st at the longest, so pulling too tight or too loose is almost non-issue. 

Two layers of yarns make my sisters' hands toasty. 

I bought clover's ponpon maker. 

I used to make pom-poms using cardboard, but I really like my new pom-pom make after 1pom-pom. It uses less yarn. It is quicker. It is so easy to make a perfect round pom-pom. 

(My ponpon in the picture above is not perfect round, because I used recycled yarn  from my son's old sweater. I was too lazy to steam well. )
