My Grandmother’s Red Mitts
These hands are the hands that taught me how to make mittens over 20 years ago. Things have now come full circle, as I help my grandmother figure out my red mitten knitting pattern. It was touch and go for a while….but she persevered!
At 94, she’s tackling chart reading, colourwork and new terminology (SSK vs. S1 K1 PSSO). She finished a pair of adult mittens to mail to a friend in B.C. and has already cast on for a pair of children’s mitts with the left over wool.
May we all be so willing to try new things at age 94!!
