Mitten Mood

In my quest to use up stash, I've gathered up the odd balls of chunky yarn, some left over from other projects, and some that just caught my eye at the yarn store or on sale.

I had...um...22 balls before I stopped counting.  There are another few bags that I hadn't looked in.

If these were all the same color, that would be enough for a whole sweater, maybe 2 even.

Since they are odd balls, 1 or 2 each, they are only good for knitting mittens or hats.  With all the cold weather around the nation, mittens seems about right.  Fortunately they knit up pretty quick.  Here are 4 pairs heading to family on the East Coast.  (4 down, 18 odd balls to go) Stay warm, everyone!
