These are my Christmas present mittens. If you are lucky enough to be someone I like you may get a pair or maybe you already have!
These two pairs were in the Scandinavian Festival this year in Jamestown. On the left are Norwegian design mittens. They are made with the traditional Norwegian star. On the right are Swedish mitten from Halland a heavily forested area of Sweden. The mittens are patterned after the jackets that lumberjacks wore. Both of these patterns came from Folk Knits the book that inspired me to learn to knit. While at the Scandinavian Festival, Sean decided he needed to know more about his Danish heritage so I will be knitting Danish mittens soon.
