Painters had descended upon my house to scrape off the peeling paint and replace it with something much less embarrassing. This was necessary, but oh so noisy. It stripped me of all ability to focus.

These mitts (and their two fellows) are the result.

Each one is made in a different way, each one uses only a tiny bit of yarn (the ones shown are 100 yards or less for a pair), each one is fairly mindless knitting, and each one takes only a few hours to complete. I love them all!

These are the laciest and most classic of the three. They’re marvelously ladylike and will look wonderful peeking out from under your sleeves.

Enjoy!
