Mittens, a little late

At last I have finished these mittens - started a year and a half ago as my dad's Christmas gift, December 2015.

Just in time for the warm weather!

Pattern is "NHM #3" from Selbuvotter: Biography of a Knitting Tradition by Terri Shea.  The yarn is a luscious merino wool/silk blend, and I added some length and width for my father's large hands.  I'm pleased to say that after washing and blocking, the line where I started knitting again after more than a year is no longer noticeable.
