Gorgeous Mittens

I first clapped eyes on the pattern for these mittens in the flesh (or even in the fibre) as opposed to on-line. I met up with my blogging friend Tracy, and she showed me her new creations. The funny thing is when presented with something tempting, British reserve is totally suppressed and I pounced on them like an obsessed maven.

These cutie mittens might join my top-ten of all patterns. So pretty but fiendishly simple. That, my friends is crochet genius. Tomorrow I hope to share with you the matching scarf which is so lovely that I think it might stay firmly in my accessory draw.

If you are similarly tempted then visit Tracy’s blog for the pattern. I will be adding this project to Celebrate Color collection of projects for October. If you want inspiration for autumn, do visit the Stitched in Colour blog. Although not a quilter I really enjoy looking at the amazing stitched projects.

Hiya, you told me about these at J’s party on Saturday, and they really are lovely! Reckon even I as a crochet novice might give them a try. It was lovely to meet you.

Hi Emma,
Lovely mittens, very familiar yet still good to see different versions.
I’m writing to congratulate you on two excellent designs in the latest copy of Inside Crochet magazine. Our shop copies arrived today and we spent a considerable amount of time pouring over them. Well done!
Riana
