My SIL’s Christmas Elvis mittens are done! The pattern is called Elvis Presley, (Ravelry link) and is by Lotta Lundin. I used Knit Picks Palette in white and black.

When the design first got published, the photos included… Continue reading Totally Tubular Mittens Done!

It will depend, as always, on the amount of free time available! Hope your weekend is off to… Continue reading Mitten Knittin’
