FO: Oak Grove Fingerless Mitts
Pattern: Oak Grove
Yarn: Becoming Art Cielo Sport
Needles: 3.25 mm dpns (US 3)
Mods: None.
Notes: these are such pretty mitts, the oak leaf design is really exceptional, and the technique gives it a raised look. My only wish is that I had reduced the stitches around the wrist- I have scrawny little bird wrists (5.5" circumference) , and there is a bit more room in them than I typically need. It would have been easy, too- just decreased about 6 stitches shortly after the ribbing from the stockinette portion, and added them back in when approaching the thumb hole round. But how can you argue with the results?
These photos were taken shortly after Christmas at my parent's home, where the local temperatures were -17 C without the wind chill. Going coat-less meant the photos had to be done in 2 mins or less!

Did you cut your hair? Or are those just layers hitting your shoulders in the second pic? Your mitts look gorgeous! Perfect colour for that pattern.

These are so amazing! I'm adding that pattern to my queue.
Oh, these are next on my queue to CO!
Cute mitts but even cuter baby belly!
Wow they look lovely & warm!
You are such a brave soul. I have a cowl that really needs to be photographed coatless, but temperatures like those are really not inspiring me to go do it.
Those look great!
I really love these mitts. The cable design is perfectly done. Nice job! I definitely want to try these!
Your mitts are just gorgeous. Great texture and stitch definition and I love the color.
These little mittens are very cute! What a nice little baby belly ;-)
Love seeing the bump!
Lovely mitts! I'm a huge fan of leaf motifs and this one is no exception. And the baby bump is gorgeous.
Fantastic pics! I love the colourway you chose for the mitts.
Look at that adorable baby bump!!! Cute mitts too!
