I like to do a little selfish knitting for my birthday.  It's just after the holidays and I have spent the last few months of the year knitting gifts for loved ones.  Once I'm finished, I cast on for myself.

These are the Bird in Hand mittens.  I love them.  Cascade 220 in red and a lovely, lofty, creamy alpaca that lives not 45 minutes from where I am typing. 
 They are warm and soft and make me smile.

They are a lovely lovely pair of mittens - great pattern and I love your yarn choices - and how lovely to use something so local
My favourite part - the thumbs!
I love your mittens! Great pattern, especially the thumbs. Mine are much simpler,
Sorry, I missed your birthday, so here are my congratulations.
Well done! They're lovely.
