A Donation from Canada

Mitten and hat sets from the skillfull knitting needles of our Canadian Friend, Bonnie B (known as Panther on RAV). Nice warm, soft and sized well for a variety of heads (with those stretchy hats), as well as hands. Bonnie tells me she used The Panda Paw Mitten Pattern we have here on our site, supplied sometime back by our friend James. She made them using good old garter stitch except the ribbing for the wrist area. Nicely done. Many thanks Bonnie, keep up the good work.
