July is Mitten Month


Thought you all might get a kick out of this comic I saw a few days back on Facebook!  I know my hubby would prefer that I not talk about mine, lol.

Can you believe it's July?  Good grief time goes by quickly.  The focus for this month is mittens.  We never get enough mittens, and I'm sorry to say there's very little information on our mitten tab; but do click it...it's a short read.  Sometime back while editing the page blogspot had an oophs and I lost the whole page...argh...even the patterns.  In the process of trying to rebuild that page so please feel free to let me know your patterns.  Remember we can copy and paste patterns that are copyrighted, but we can provide links and give credit if the pattern is here on line or is your own pattern.

WOOT WOOT, messed around more and found the page somehow hidden...but please still feel free to let us know if you have a good pattern to add!!  Here's the Mitten Tab.

Folks, if you missed the  post where I included a graph of how we're doing with each of the items we knit and crochet and donate and compared it to this time last year.  Please click HERE

  2. Mittens mittens I LOVE to make mittens! And my yarn stash says I will always have enough yarn for many many pairs! I love to make Bev's two needle mittens and the pattern is right on your mitten page! When I use four needles I like to use the WARMEST MITTENS pattern available on Ravelry. Also a pattern called NO SWATCH NO GAUGE MITTENS also available on Ravelry. Have a happy and safe 4th of July holiday and weekend ladies!

  3. Stash was great when I moved last year. It became packing in the corner of dish boxes. Some got laid across the bottom of boxes. What fun it was to unpack. Just like buying new yarn. LOL
    Hope everyone is having a good 4th!
