I've been on somewhat of a mitten bender lately. Well, it is that time of year in Montana. Time to wear all the wool you've got or risk being sad. And cold. So… I've been cranking out mittens for two shows I've got coming up: tomorrow, friend Tina Gilchrist and I are doing our farmers market thing at the Gallatin Valley Farmer's Market, Holiday Edition! We'll be at the Gallatin County Fairgrounds from 9:00 till 5:00. Next week, Friday the 4th and Saturday the 5th, is the Bozeman Weavers Guild Show & Sale downtown at 25 W. Main Street. I'm so excited about both of these opportunities to bring warm and wooly wonders to the folks of Bozeman and the valley!
Anyway, back to my mitten kick: this fall I came across a forlorn bag of forgotten wool in many colors. It simply begged me to turn it into mittens. It was rather a challenge using up every bit of the yarn in different colors of stripes and blocks but was So. Much. Fun. And satisfying beyond belief! If you ever have a chance to turn a bag of wool into mittens, I recommend you take it.
