First Mittens

Until recently I never made a pair of mittens.  What changed?  The coalescence of two events.  We are launching a new charity crafting initiative and mittens are on the list of donations for one charity.  Seemed simple enough.  But what really jumpstarted my knitting (I can make a pretty quick hat after all), was the snow event.  Trying to clear off your car with fingerless mitts just isn’t fun.
