Secret Song Mittens

This past winter I caught the knitting bug!  I've known how to knit/purl for years, 
but have never (successfully) tackled anything other than a garter stitch scarf.  
I've always said I would rather sew because of the instant gratification factor, 
but there is something really great about slowing down and watching a 
project grow from just a skein of yarn.  

This was the first project that I knit last fall, using the 
Secret Song Mittens pattern from Interweave's Knitscene (Spring 2012).  



They've gotten a lot of use this winter and they match my coat perfectly!

Have you caught the knitting bug?  What was the first project you were most proud of?
