Class Spotlight | Mary’s Beaded Mitts
My friend, Mary, has been knitting and wearing many iterations of this beaded fingerless mitt for years. Questions like — Where did you get those? Did you make them? Where can I get the pattern? — are frequently heard every time she wears them. And, why not? They are fabulous!
After doing a quick beaded mitt workshop with some of my regular knitting students recently, I received lots of inquires from others, so I’ve decided to add a second session!
