Mittens

I finished off my alpaca mittens tonight... well, except for the embroidery design I plan to add later. But I have two mittens, both with thumbs, all ends worked in, and completely wearable.

I had some leftover gray that I don't need for the embroidery, so I crocheted it into a test swatch which I plan to toss in the washing machine. *gasp*! Yes, I know. Sacrilege. But I really like alpaca, and I really like machine washable clothing. I thought I'd use my tiny amount of excess to see just what the damage, if any, would be. I'll post any interesting results.
