They're made with Artyarns supermerino, which is one of my favorite yarns ever. I also got pretty stitch markers and a Lindt chocolate toffee bar and a bag of stroopwafflen, as she knows I'm addicted.
The person I made gifts for is the blog-less Cassandra. She had mentioned wanting to try bamboo yarn, so I made mittens for her out of Classic Elite Wool Bamboo:
The hands used just one ball of yarn, on size 5 Inox circulars (magic loop). The cuffs are in Berocco Zodiac. I also made her a pair of socks and by accident I seem to have deleted the full image, so here's the detail shot:
They are made out of two skeins of Cervinia Calzetteria in the color Capri.
And I also made her stitch markers, which I know Ariel is jealous of, considering the theme:
And I may also have gotten her an infectious disease stuffed animal, because she loves those infectious diseases!
Answer to Anna's question in the comments on my last post:
No, I didn't crochet on a toggle on the cardigan. I do want to find some kind of clasp or such for it. I was using an Edward Gorey cat pin to pin it this weekend, as it kind of gaped in the back when it wasn't closed. And the picture was taken in a bookstore, so you weren't too far off in your guess. :)

cool stuff, esp the greeny blue socks. Those are great. I'm laughing about the infectious disease animals - my kids love those things, but I never see them out in the world. They sell 'em at the science museum.
