Midsomer Mittens
Even though mittens are not (usually!) needed in Maine in June, this mitten’s name reflects the colors and timing of the design. This pattern was originally conceived in the early spring, with thoughts of summer in mind--the actual working of the sample started right at midsummer, in very Swedish colors! So this one is for all our Swedish “sisters”--Astrid, Sonja and Felicia!
Happy summer-knitting and winter-wearing!
