⚓Knitting Viking Mittens will make you Strong! Okay, maybe not true…⚓

BUT… Vikings were some of the first knitters ever! The oldest verified piece of knitting came from Egypt using a technique called Nalbinding, also commonly called Viking Knitting that was used in Viking culture as far back as 750 AD - That’s like 12 centuries! Talk about a long standing tradition. How could I not design something to honor these resilient knitters. Besides, Viking ships are cool, and manly. I even included magic runes! Knit a pair of these mittens and you are also knitting a Web of Wyrd charm, a blessing of the keepers of fate. What better gift could there be?
