This was a fun experiment that I did over a weekend- I used my favourite mitten pattern, but tried to make it so the top can be folded back so you've got easy access to your fingers (for fumbling with keys and buttons etc). It was fun to try and make it up and figure it out.
I was also testing out some colour combo options- mixing several tiny threads together to make a chunkier yarn. Worked a treat. [:
Kimxop.s. I never want this wintertime to end- I want to make mittens forever!
