Frog Mittens



This month my charity group is focusing on an elementary school in Baytown. That entails making hats, mittens, scarves, gloves, sweaters and vests for elementary school children of all shapes and sizes. I remember having a pair of chipmunk mittens when I was a kid and LOVED them. My mom is still looking to see if she might have the pattern. In the meantime, I found an old magazine that has patterns for various animals, including these frog mittens. ARN'T THEY CUTE! I just love them and hope that some child will love them too. The pattern was from an August 1989 Knitting World magazine. I'm going to see if I can contact the publisher to see if they will release the pattern for my charity group to use.

I finished one of my socks that I designed, but am now working on the second sock to be sure that I wrote the pattern correctly. As soon as I complete the socks I will post both the pattern and the picture. Until then, I am off to try making another pair of animal mittens -- perhaps little piggys this time.

Wow. These are great. You're a very talented knitter. The frogs are just so cute. I had purchased similar mittens when my older boys were little and they loved them. I know my youngest would adore them now. Please let me know the pattern if you get permission. Thank you. Tracey

Those are sooooooooooooo cute! I saw your next post about skunks... If you have or create a chicken/gamecock I will buy a pair from you or will pay for a pattern! My step sons just recently found out that I knit and want gamecock stuff for Christmas next year (I can get a head start)...

[starts skipping off to tell hubby] I saw the cutest mittens EVER!

Heya this is kinda of off topic but I was wondering if blogs
use WYSIWYG editors or if you have to manually code with HTML.

I'm starting a blog soon but have no coding know-how so I wanted to get advice from someone with experience. Any help would be enormously appreciated!
