These mitts are made from the free Rainbow mitts pattern by Sandra Jager on Ravelry. I used leftover Kauni Effektgarn EQ and a set of 5 US2/2.75mm DPNs.

Wizard Scarf with flash

This is the fabulous free "Honka" scarf pattern from Ravelry in the double knitting technique. I made it with Kauni Effektgarn EQ and size US3/3.25mm needles. It was the first double knit thing I've made and required lots of quiet and concentration. The yarn is beautiful but rather scratchy and sadly had several breaks in the flow of colors.
