gnarly

I stepped out of my comfort zone to knit these cable mittens.
Working with a cable needle on double point needles?
= slow going for me.

 

 

Pattern writer Faye Perriam described them as a super cozy, chunky,

 unisex pair of cabled mittens you can knit up in a weekend.

I knit mine with Lion Brand Fishermen's Wool

in birch tweed.

The colors remind me of this old gnarly tree in our front yard

that Mr. b keeps around for his little feathered friends.

 

 

A lot of birds can weather-out a storm in this tree's hollow branches.

 

 

I love these mittens and they fit Mr. b.
