Notes

Ravelry shows up that wool is sport weight but it isn’t! It is 4ply/ fingering weight/jumper weight.
I’ve 50g of each festive colour - bright contrast colours - which means these will be Christmas mittens.
Pure Shetland wool - available here - https://www.mackenziesfarmshop.co.uk

Finished clue one though I’d missed making one of the sets of Latvian Braids! So I had to do a little bit of fiddling around grin to get it in position.

Finished clue 2 on one mitten. Interesting chart to knit, enjoying the process this evening.

07-12-2022

I ripped back to the beginning with one mitten tonight and made it all up again without anything amiss with Latvian Braids! And now I’m completely finished with second clues.
It’s wintry here with snow and ice on the roads, hills covered in snow snowflake Mittens will be welcome!

Clue 3 is lovely! I’ve knit up on one and will probably not get much done tonight as off to knit and yack Christmas party!
