It feels so good to have knit both of them right in a row. Half the time when knitting mittens I knit the first one and then just make up excuses about why it doesn't need a mate. But since I plan on wearing these (and yes, because it's NaKniMitMo,) I'm feeling particularly efficient (or masochistic, take your pick,) so full pairs are the order of the day.The pattern for Bavarois should be available in the next couple of days, for those of you who are waiting for such things. You will be notified!
Has anyone noticed that practically everything I've knit lately has been orange or gold or at least a warm shade of beige? This is easily spotted if you take a peek at my Ravelry projects page. I have no idea where this sudden orange obsession is coming from or how long it's going to last, but I suspect it's far from over just yet. Unsurprisingly, there is much orange yet lurking in my stash (I looked.)
Which leads me to my next NaKniMitMo mittens:
Meet the new mittens (working title: "Wurst.") Because I just can't bear to live in a world where stylized sausage links have yet to appear on colourwork winter wear, and I know that some of you just might feel the same way, too.

Worst is awesome!! You could wear them to Oktoberfest:)
I did notice the preponderance of orange in your recent projects, and wholeheartedly approve. (I love orange, and also tend to knit in color bursts.)
I really love Bavarois.
I love love love link sausages as a stranded colourwork motif. Genius!
Bavarois is just stunning. Love them. And maybe it's because I make my own sausage but Wurst makes me giggle. Fantastic pattern there!
Go on, do your wurst...
They're beautiful, I look forward to knitting them.
