Sara's Mitts

I finally finished the mitts for my sister Sara.  I hope she likes them!!


I decided that I should actually try to write out my improvised pattern for once. This is my first attempt to write out a pattern, and it must have taken longer to research how to write it up then it did to knit the darn things.  My knitting shorthand is not standard and apparently is only legible to me. So, I had to look up what most other pattern writters use.

So, if anyone is interested in proofing and testing my pattern, I would appreciate it.  Please shoot me an email to angipantsdesign@gmail.com for a copy of the pattern.

Thanks!!!
