WELCOME!!

It's Autumn, and days are getting shorter and cooler. Hands are getting a bit chapped and raw and it's time to Warm them Up!

So taking a que from Miss Sandy, I've started this blog to showcase mittens! I have a groups of friends who meet every month at the Annapolis Borders Cafe to sit, knit, chat, and in general have a warm knitterly time. It's a wonderful group of people and I really adore them all. Not all of them have blogs but won't mind sharing their amazing work with all.

**Please note that it's also an open group, and any and all is most welcome to come join us. I will post meeting dates as they come round.

At our last meeting (September 11th) we started a knit-a-long of MITTENS! Mostly two color, all in different weights, and some of the knitters are even knitting in the round for the first time! Even taught one to purl! It was great fun and everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves.

So come back and see what's been happening. I'll also be posting the occasional mitten pattern, and pictures of mittens cause that's what it's all about. Oh, possibly some gloves and socks too.

For more fabulous mittens and gloves go to Warm Hands. This is it's second year and well worth the visit. I'll see you there!
