It’s getting cold here and Christmas is approaching, so what could be better than knitting mittens???
I have knitted a pair of Fetching Mitten for my mum last year, but she lost them while moving houses and have been complaining ever since, so I decided to make her another pair, this time in a more challenging pattern. Here is the one I picked… enjoy!
Cafe au Lait Mitts
by Paula MacKeever
I bought some self striping wool in the store down the road. They unlukily don’t have a big selection and their prices are on the edge of illegality, but this one looked quite nice and affordable. Being sock yars it’s a bit “stiffy”, but it’s 100% wool so at least it should be warm.
I have been busy with work lately, so not much time for knitting at usual, but they seem to work up pretty fast!
