It’s never too early to begin knitting Christmas gifts for loved ones. After the Three Dragons Scarf, and the Three Unicorns Scarf, the Celtic Cables Magic Hat, Leonardo Ninja Turtle Scarf, Raphael Ninja Turtle Hat, Donatello Ninja Turtle Ear-Flaps Hat, & Mr. Foxy Hat, I offer you the most gorgeous, easy, fingerless cables mitts, knitted sideways on straight needles with 2 strands of 4 ply held together! Knitted flat. Then sewn. It fits a teen / an adult (small size)! It’s an ideal prezzie for Christmas for your loved ones! It’s a quick knit! I finished designing AND knitting it in a few hours on one day! It was relatively easy ‘cos I had designed & knitted a cables poncho in 4 months, & I made this with the remaining merino wool. So not just the colour matches the poncho for Sara, but the cables match it too. (I have yet to type out my notes of the Poncho.)
Aeons ago, I played BlasterBall, a computer game. It makes one want to crack the previous score, and set another high score….and a higher score…and yet a higher score. My grandson is the reason I began to design exclusive knitting patterns. Then I raise the benchmark & want to create something more unique & even grander. I like to think that with every new knitting pattern offered I am improving & using my brain. Keeping depression & dementia at bay. And creating exquisite works of art.
This one’s for Sara! When my grandson was born, he was dressed in onesies which proclaimed “I <3 Dad” and Sara always said he hearts Dad, instead of saying he loves Dad! :D So here’s Mumma Hearts Sara Mitts! For the drive into Oxford and back home on cold winter days. Make it with pure wool. Give your loved ones the best!
You are officially entering a de-stress zone: Come let’s sit & happily knit! Keep tea & mince pies at hand.Go to your happy place and make it. Baie Liefde from my home to yours! Enjoy!
