Lined Mittens (All Day) ~ Mary Germain

Description

Make mittens warm and comfortable with a hand-knit liner. Class will cover how to knit a liner, how to knit an outer mitten onto a liner, and how to attach a liner as an outer mitten is knit. The outer mitten could be a fabulous Latvian mitten or a plain, one-color mitten with a palm-set thumb. The mitten could have a ribbed cuff, a cuff that uses a special-technique, or a picot-edged hem, as seen on some traditional Latvian-style mittens.  See teacher bio.
