Mittens Mitten who made a mitten?

Yippee one done and one to go. Why do we have to be made with pairs?
This mitten pattern is really nice. I picked it up a few years ago at the Knit show.
The pattern is called "Pop Up Paws". If you live in Southwest PA, near Bridgeville to be exact, you can pick up a copy off of "Carol's Needleworks" . Just let her know, I sent you. She ordered them because I lost mine. And she was the only place that had them.

Now the pattern DOES NOT have the pattern work, oh no.... My friend wanted these for her friend for Christmas. I thought how hard can this be? AH, well, there are many increase and decrease in this pattern. And pattern work likes to keep its numbers the same.
SO there was a lot of, of, of, creativeness going on!
They did turn out rather cute! I am going to block them and get rid of the stiffness. I used Cascade 220. She picked all the colors. Good choice. Would I make them again. The mittens, yes the pattern work, NO!

The baby bunting is almost done. Really cute.
I will post a finished picture later.

Also my scarf and my daughters vest are all coming along nicely. I have been focused on the mittens, because they are not for my family, but a gift for someone to give someone. How sad am I, I get those things done, but family..... well maybe they will get this or that next.....whatever! They know I love them.
