Ginger Mitts
Keep your mitts warm and your fingers free.
The yarn I used for these mitts is Lana Gatto, Zenzero, which is the Italian word for ginger. And Lana Gatto means Wool Cat! I love that! We all need a warm pair of fingerless mitts to keep our hands toasty, so spice up your life with an easy knit and a cable on top! I have my very own Wool Cat helping me with the pics. I hope you enjoy making them. Stay warm.
