My unfortunate 18th century Outlander Obsession based on Diana Gabaldon’s Outlander Series continues unabated. I’ve added two new poetry mittens to the Outlander collection.

Last year’s Robert Frost Mittens are not true poetry mittens in that the design is limited to one side (the back). Nor can we say they have a much resonance with Outlander. Up in the Morning Early (By Robert Burns) covers both sides of the mittens, which is traditional, but the mittens are read across the backs, then flipped, to be read across the front.. which is not traditional. Nor is it traditional to have the text facing the wearer.

But if I’m making the mittens.. I want to enjoy them!
