Mittens!
While I was staying with Adrian after Rhinebeck (October 2009), I “encouraged” Adrian to start a new mitten pattern. After a shopping trip to WEBS, we spent a few days sitting around the dining room table armed with Adrian’s extensive mitten library, graph paper and pencils. Adrian’s awesome Squirrel Sampler Mittens and my Northman Mittens are the result.
Special thanks to Adrian for encouraging me to design these mittens, answering my endless questions, test knitting, and giving me permission to use her Squirrel Sampler Mittens pattern as a template.
Thanks also to Stacie for her wonderful editing and test knitting skills.

Both sets of mittens are absolutely stunning. I love how different they look from Adrian’s, just from changing the colours. Well done to you both for creating such beautiful designs.
