Mittnz Update
June 28th, 2008. Filed under: Sewing on Saturday.There’s been a lot of mittnz whipped up for the reservation since my initial post about the mittnz blitz this coming fall. A rough tally stands at 482 pairs. Some of the support group have completed over 50 pairs each. Wow! That’s a lot of knitting and crocheting. Check out Knitting Nonni for a picture of her 7th set of 8. Do the math. That’s 56 pairs. There are prizes involved, too. You can read a bit about them over at Sheep Shots. Scroll down towards the end of the June 21st post. One of the members of our Native American Support group shared a fast and easy mitten pattern with us. Thank you, Panda Man. If you would like to join in our challenge, let me know. In the mean time, here are some more mitten patterns:
Bev’s Marvelous Mitts – These can be made to fit the entire family.
fingerless gloves – another version
angora gloves – Oh, how I loved that lush softness of angora as a teen.
Join in the Mittnz challenge with us; make mittens and share mitten patterns. These small items are ideal for working with yarn in the summer.
