These mittens are a traditional Latvian pattern found in Maruta Grasmane's book "Mittens of Latvia". I am obsessed with Latvian knitting motifs and just had to try this complicated pattern. It has been my most ambitious project to date.

At one point I was dealing with 6 different colors of yarn on my needles (all those strands to keep untangled!). I'm quite proud of them and wore them many times over the winter. :)

Edit: In case you are intimidated by knitting, this is the first awful pair of mittens I ever knit. Look at how they don't even match! It took patience and a lot of practice but I progressed and so can you!

Wow! That is such awesome knitting. You have far surpassed the original @NeedleStack and I’m impressed to see how much effort ‘you’ go through to impersonate her nearly every move.

Wow! Those are so beautiful and well made. Great job.

And, of course I love the goat. Very, very cute.

@PuttItOut wouldn't it be nice if there was some sort of portal where users could sell things with some of the money going toward keeping voat running. I bet I'm the first to ever suggest this
