Cold weather knitting in warm weather
I know that it's autumn, but you would never know it here in Tucson - the temperature is still hitting 90 degrees (32 celsius)! When I start seeing sweaters in stores and pumpkin butter at the grocery, I start wishing for the crisp air and golden sunlight of fall. And mittens. That's why I've started making a new pair, knitting all of my cold-weather dreams into each stitch.
My favorite mitten pattern is from the Knit Knack Kit by Kris Percival - it's a basic, easy pattern that's great if you're knitting your first pair of mittens.

love the color!
thats the kit i used to teach myself to knit!
i never did attempt to tackle the mittens though...thanks for the encouragement!
Cool color...
Do you need a pattern too before knitting, like the one who want to sew clothes? Because I never have or see someone around me knitting :)
The leaves are at their peak of fall color here. It is brisk, breezy sweater weather, but the mittens haven't had to come out of storage quite yet! I came close to grabbing some when we went for an evening walk while visiting the windy city of Chicago last weekend, though.
