Apples and pumpkins and pears, oh my!

With cooler weather on the way, it’s time to start thinking about accessorizing. There’s nothing better to wear while you’re out apple picking, trick-or-treating, collecting your fall fruit from the farm stand than a brand new pair of fingerless mitts!

Got half a skein of leftover sock yarn? Sock yarn too nice to put on your feet? An irrational dislike of knitting toes, but an equally irrational desire to use tiny needles? Make mitts! These mitts are a great way for new knitters to level up their skills -- knitting in the round! gussets! -- and a great way for experienced knitters to crank out the Christmas presents.
