Knitting: Norwegian Mittens

Norwegian Mittens
With Greg Cotton
Wednesday, January 15 and 29, 7-9
$40 + Yarn and Needles

Does the Iowa winter make your hands freeze?  Are you tired of commercial mittens and gloves that make your hands turn blue in the cold?  Knit a pair of Norwegian mittens, rich with colorful patterns and sure to keep your hands toasty warm.  Once you knit a pair, the Norwegian mitten world will be your oyster.

Please Bring the Following Supplies:
-Two contrasting colors of worsted weight yarn (Casade 220, e.g.)
-two circular needles that will give you a gauge of 6 stitches to the inch with the yarn you choose.  (Yes...that is indeed a very tight gauge for that weight yarn!  The dense fabric will help keep your hands very warm.)
