Woolly Mittens

 
We had our second night of frost last night! The first night was a light covering, but last night was heavier. I was so glad I had gotten all of my herbs inside a head of time. (I'll show you this later.)
This did get me to thinking though that I needed to get with it and finish sewing the order that I had received for my woolly mittens.
 

You might remember the ones that I made last winter and sold where I was working on the Alaskan Highway...
 
I received an order by e-mail for a dozen more of my woolly mittens from my former employer a few weeks back. Needless to say I've been very busy this last week putting them all together. Then I ran out of lining material and had to wait until it arrived yesterday to continue.
I'm excited about experimenting this time by combining a new embroidery pattern I just purchased to the mittens with solid wool tops. 
 I'm crossing my fingers and hoping it works out!
 

If I get good results with it I will be back in a day or two to show you the results. Wish me luck.
Have a good Wednesday!
Kim

    Kim, I love your mittens and wish I could make some but there is not a lot of wool anything down here. How do you come upon such lovely patterns? Gorgeous! What do you use for the lining? Fleece or flannel? I need to find a way to make extra money as I need it for my expensive meds! LOL! Don't get sick.....you pay in more ways than one!

      I'm hoping to use my embroidery machine now instead of doing it all by hand.

    This is wonderful to have a large order, and maybe the embroidery will speed up on the machine .Super pattern and colours together. Do well, keep warm, and maybe save a special pair for you and one for Tim.

    I love these mismatched, yet matching, mittens. I have a pair and they are so cozy with the fleece inside them. I'm glad you had the opportunity to make and sell more of them.

    These are so pretty Kim! If I lived in the north I would definitely be ordering a few pairs from you.
