Alice in Wonderland mitts

For a long time I've wanted to make myself some awesome mitts. I randomly decided one day to google "Alice in Wonderland mitt patterns" and discovered this pattern by Jennifer Lang. I fell in love instantly. Having never done any "fair isle" type knitting before I thought it would be a great idea to buy this pattern and make myself a pair. 

I knit the "Alice" mitt 3 times total, which was very frustrating, but if I was going to make something that I was going to love so much I didn't want to keep looking at my "Alice" mitt and be disappointed in the appearance of it. I chose to do the "rabbit" mitt in opposite colours because the rabbit is supposed to be white and I like things that aren't "normal" and are a little quirky.

I love how the thumb has a sweet little heart on it and the palm side has roses and leaves. 

I know no-one's ever going to see the lining, but I know it's there and it had to be a bright colour. I was going to use a bright pink or purple, but the shop I bought the yarn at didn't have any of those colours; red was the brightest, but I love them none-the-less! 

All-in-all, these gloves did take a lot of work, but it was so worth it and I absolutely LOVE them! And they are soooo warm which is perfect timing.
