MORE MAY MITTENS

Don't forget knitting tonight at Sip 'N Knit...come in and cool off with a refreshing drink and knit in comfort!

Here are another pair of Mitered Mittens, these knit by Nellie:
They are bulky and soft and warm! Nellie incorporated the I-Cord tie on the back of the hand, and the contrasting trim and thumb really make a great look!

Why not stop in and start your own pair of mittens?

EZ ~ MAY IS FOR MITTENS

Are you ready for May? Are you ready to make mittens? Come out and join us for Mondays in May with Elizabeth Zimmermann's Knitters Almanac Mittens ~ the simple Mitered Mitten or the more challenging Norwegian Mitten.


(Norwegian Mittens in progress above)

Plymouth Yarn Boku is an excellent choice for the Mitered Mitts, as is Cascade 220 (especially the heathery colors). Choose traditional solids or a blend of solid and variegated for your Norwegian Mitts. Use your imagination and we hope to see you at knitting!
