Mittens!

Today the forecast was for 15 - 20 cm of snow. We got about 6cm and then it turned to rain. I'm good with that as I am not a winter person. Give me warm weather. Anyway, my sister sent me a couple pairs of her knitted mittens and asked me to build her a snowman (she's in Tennessee) wearing a pair of the mitts. Didn't happen!! Sorry Joan. But here are the mittens:

The last time she was here, we went to Annapolis Royal to the summer market. One of the vendors was selling the pattern for mitts with the pointed tops. We tried on a pair and were surprised at how comfortable they were as we always had the rounded top ones that our mother made. 

Here are mittens she made for my granddaughter, her great niece. Aren't they gorgeous!

Enjoy!

    1. Thank you for your comment. The four seasons are nice but winter could be a bit shorter for me. Enjoy your summer.

  2. Your new mittens are wonderful! I love those types of designs but a little too complicated for my knitting abilities I think.

    1. Thanks! These days, I leave the complicated knitting, to my sister. Although, I did knit lots of sweaters with patterns years ago.
