Her hand skims the tops of the heather boughs. Across the heathland she sees him walking toward her, his heavy wool sweater a splash of cream over the purple/pink blossoms. She fingers the buttons that sweep down her forearm. Will she dare to loosen a few and expose the delicate skin of her wrist, out here amongst the sunbirds and siskins where the two of them would be alone for the very first time? Only you can decide. Knit flat with a fitted construction that tapers gracefully at the wrist, Heathland Mitts can be closed or opened by a string of functional buttons that run down the pinkie side. Their future waits for your cast on.
