not just any mittens but mini-mittens!
knitted repeatedly until there were 25!
finished just in time to create the perfect advent calendar!
an excellent way to count down the days
until the reason for the season arrives with an extra bonus,
a little hiding place for a special treat!
each mitten is approximately 3 1/2 inches in length.
each mitten took approximately an hour to knit
each mitten used up one of those small bits of worsted weight yarn that remains after completing a project - you know, the bits that are just too big to just toss!
also the perfect opportunity to once again experience those yarns that you just loved to needle, like malabrigo - yum! yum!
i used size 3 dpn's and found the pattern on ravelry, it is called 'smitten' - duh!
the pattern called for an i-cord loop for hanging but i eliminated said cord as i wanted to hang my mittens with a mini-clothespin on a clothesline!
i made the tags on the computer and tied them on with perle cotton thread!
and then i stuffed them with lots of chocolate goodies!
so festive and the clear ticket to get one excited about upcoming events!
no matter what ones age!
now, on to holiday knitting - 25 days but who's counting?
