Mood:  happy
Now Playing: Folk Mitten design

I have designed another Folk Mitten, I call this one loves Sweet Song. I used the traditional Norwegian colors of black and white for this mitten. I thought that black and white would be best for musical notes.

Le voyage d' amour _ Loves Journey
Mood:  happy
Now Playing: Folk Mitten design
I have designed another Folk Mitten. I am calling this one Le voyage d' amour - Loves Journey. This is the first time that I have used a variegated yarn on one of my Folk Mittens, and I really like the way that variegated yarn contrasts with the white yarn. I think that the design shows up well. I used Lion Brand Wool the color Autumn Sunset, and Knit Picks White. This pattern design is available at http://www.freewebs.com/folkmittens
