Knitted Mittens for Grace
Anyway, here are Grace's red mittens...
The pattern for these mittens is a very basic one from a very old knitting pattern book from the 60s, sticker price $1.50...isn't that funny? What's funny is that I am from the 60's but I don't consider myself very old! Even funnier are the styles featured in the book. But classic mittens like this never go out of style! So if you run across old pattern books at yard sales, flip through them for classic patterns that you might like. Can't beat the price! I got this book from the big clean out of my mother-in-law's stuff after she passed away many years ago. I was the only knitter in the family so I got all the patterns, needles, yarn and other gadgets she had.
The yarn I used is from Hobby Lobby, their I Love This Yarn brand, which I had never used before because we don't have Hobby Lobby around here. I really did love this yarn too! It is sport weight and was so nice to work with.
After I finished the mittens, I had some left so I grabbed a crochet hook and used it all up on that little roll in between the mittens. I'll show you that little project next time.
I've been sitting in front of the fire all afternoon, working on my current crochet project which I'll show you soon too, and being very grateful for all of us being healthy once again and not having to go out into the cold, wet, white mess that is outside...not until tomorrow anyway, when school resumes for the kids and hopefully life will be back to normal around here!
Happy Stitching!
