Conway Cloche and Fingerless Mittens

I thought I would catch you up with a few knitting projects I've been working on. I first made the Conway Cloche in early 2010, and I must say that it is my favorite hat I've ever knit. I wear it all the time. Inevitably, my little sister Kathryn saw it and wanted on for herself. It took me a while to make hers, but I finally had it ready for her Christmas present this past year. She also asked for a pair of matching fingerless mittens. Both the hat and mittens were knit in Cascade 220, in a magenta color. The pattern for the mittens can be found in Joelle Hoverson's More Last Minute Knitted Gifts.
