When I finished with JD's Mangyle, I had a whole ball of the gray color left over. After eyeing the pattern for quite literally years, I decided to use it to make a pair of Dashings. This was just about the most perfect pattern ever. It's small, it's round knitting [which I love], and it's got just enough cables that I'm satisfied and not driven crazy.

Onward.

On my arms.

Detail of the cables.

I'm quite proud of the thumb gussets, though you can't really see them.

These mitts are so comfy and soft. They're actually quite perfect for our winters down here, where the mornings are cold but the afternoons are warm. I can wear a short sleeved shirt with these and my jacket in the morning, and then still be comfortable all day.

Yarn - Lion Bran Wool-Ease in gray
