Well, besides that.
After months of planning, swatching, frogging, knitting, purling, and charting. I won the Blue Ribbon at the DC State Fair.
Let me tell you, I went a little nuts with this entry, but I had a goal of doing a color work mitten with some sort of iconic DC image on the front. I went though ideas with the Capitol and White House. Or the constitution or an image of the Lincoln Memorial.
I need up going with the Capitol and I used the DC Flag for the cuff of the mitten. The palms use a traditional Nordic pattern. And some stars and stripes on the thumb for, you know, America!
The pattern will be up on Raverly when I get it together for anyone who might want a pair of their own.
