Mittens for October

Hi all,

Our next meeting is this Wednesday, October 8, from 3 to 4:30 at the Meadows branch of the Boulder Public library. We have 2 mitten patterns, a textured mitten knit flat and a basic mitten that knits up fast in the round.

We encourage you to knit mittens with wool yarn (doesn't have to be superwash), as it stays warm when wet.
