More Mittens in Gemstone

Remember those three balls of Red Heart Gemstone I found in the mill ends at Spinrite? Here they are again:

The three balls are all a little light. They should be 200g each and are closer to 140g each, which would be why they were in the mill ends. I’m knitting mittens with the free pattern from Tin Can Knits called The World’s Simplest Mittens. I finished up the ball of Flourite and got two pairs of the second largest size out of it, with a bit of yarn left over.

Last week, I finished up the Amethyst ball. I made two pairs of the third size, then one pair in the second size – with some stripes of Flourite, just for fun. Here they are:

Next up, the red ball – Fire Agate!
