Wait, you're a mitten-knitting virgin? Truly? Now I'm a little nervous about creating the perfect introduction to the world of mitten knitting for you. But don't worry, I enjoy a challenge! (Besides, mittens/gloves are just socks with a few extra appendages, so since you can knit socks you're all set.)
Love,

Yes, I am a virgin. LOL. I can hardly wait to lay that one on my husband!
My son wants mittens to go with his sweater (the sweater I loath) and have decided that I need to finish before Christmas.
Anyway, I am looking forward to this. Really I am!
