Lazy April

Now that the HP Cup is on spring break, I've been rather lazy in many ways. I started to knit this Revontuli shawl but then I realized, that as much as it is simple, it is boring to knit. I need something to watch while doing it. Lots of something. :D

When I realized that, I started to knit colourwork mittens from a Finnish book, which has 100 traditional patterns, it was published in 1947. (Sata Kansanomaista Kuviokudinmallia) It is very popular book even outside Finland and they are going to reprint it this year again, my fingers are itching... 30€ is quite salty price for my budget. Here's where I am so far with the mittens:

They are from Hamina, southern city on the shore.
