Merry month of May,
you have put the bees to work,
tending your bright blooms.

Though the weather may grow warmer, I still make time to knit mittens. It is in the winter that I will treasure the warmth of May, remembering the buzz of bees and that will keep me a little warmer.

These colorwork mittens put a new spin on traditional techniques, designed from top to bottom with a two color cast on and seamless cast off.
