Mel!! What a beautiful little girl, and the mittens aren’t fantastic!! I am _so_ going to knit those as soon as I’m done with my belated Christmas knitting… I know a little girl of mine that has been hankerin’ for some mama knits and she just lost her mitten!

Thanks for sharing!

The mittens are a great gift–just like holding someone’s hands over a distance.

See–this is what I’m talking about with respect to your knitting! ;)

Lovely post all around…starting with a cutie, then onto some really beautiful mittens (seems like such a simple design, but in fact, they are ingenious), and ending with a lesson on color dominance (thanks for that—I’m still learning these things!). I do like how you made the lighter color dominant in yours…and so great that you and AB have that link through your mittens. :)

The mittens are awesome, but the china doll is just gorgeous. The strawberry hair and charcoal lashes – plotz! What a beauty, at that perfect, earnest age. I love three year-olds.

Cool is right! I agree – I want to knit fun things this year and also more gifts!

They are just too cute! My view on swearing is that as long as kids are old enough to understand the concept of context (ie not in front of grandmothers/teachers), they’re old enough to know the words. Which is lucky, because mine overheard me plenty…

Hehehe. My parents didn’t realize what I heard, and when my dad said ‘bull’, little two year old me finished the thought. He still tells that story…

I love the mittens! I can imagine them on her wee hands. Did you attach the string to go around in her coat, or do her parents safety pin them to the sleeves?

I have to reiterate what Gudrun said, beautiful niece and mittens. It’s so nice to have your knitted gifts appreciated, isn’t it?
