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.
