Foliage mittens and other knitting projects

Finally, I finished Foliage mittens! I have had them almost completed for more than a month.

The days before Christmas I also finished the first lace pattern I've ever knitted. I started it last Winter but I left it aside when weather became warmer. Later, in autumn 2007, I've never found the right moment to knit the last half skein...till december.

It is a diagonal pattern based on the repetition of *k2tog, yo, k1*, decreasing a stitch at the end of every k row, and increasing a stitch at the end of every p row. All wrong side rows are purled.

El gorro Foliage va ser part del meu regal d'aniversari a la meva germana. Ahir va fer 30 anys! En realitat el regal complet constava del gorro amb unes manoples inspirades en el patró del gorro, pero ahir només n'existia una! la segona s'haurà fet esperar però aviat arribarà, ja la tinc a la meitat.

Foliage hat was a part of my sister's birthday present. Yesterday she was 30 years old! Actually the whole present should be the hat and a pair of mittens knitted in the same pattern than the hat, but yesterday I only had one of them finished. However, don't worry Mireia, I've the second one almost ready!
