Topic: quick projects
This year's holiday theme is the Winter of The Hand. I do slippers every year and I feel rebellious this time. As we approach "crunch" knitting time with the arrival of the Thanksgiving Bird, I am finishing up projects on the needles so I can cast on for Christmas presents the day after.
So what ARE these?
Handfast Mittens. One full pair of mittens PLUS a two-handed one, for holding hands while walking together. Lover's Mittens. Glittens They have many names.
I make these for special couples, and there's one on my list this year. Knit at 3 sts=1" in a doubled yarn, they are done in a flash.
HANDFAST MITTEN KITS available here.
