Fingerless Mittens

Off the needles
I never got around to posting a picture of these mittens. The free pattern is here: Dashing
Yarn: Knit Picks Wool of the Andes in Maple.
The yarn is pilling a bit. I wouldn't use Wool of the Andes for this type of project again. Maybe I'm just hard on my hands. I'm making a new pair of fingerless mittens for dh with Cascade 220, so we'll see how that goes as far as pilling goes.
Oh, picture was taken by 10-yr old :)
You may not be hard on your hands...I have had less than ideal results from many of the KnitPicks yarns myself, including Wool of the Andes. It's too bad, because I want to like them.
Anyway the cables on those are beautiful!
