quick + purly: 5 mittens

While Spring is about to ... spring, many of us still have some chilly weather to get through, so how about some pretty pretty mittens? If you're lucky enough not to need hand-warming any more this season, knitting one of these patterns would give you a nice portable project and have you ready for next Winter. Win win!

1. How Cold Is It? (adult language alert) by Drunk Girl Designs $5.50 USD
2. La Joie du Printemps by Heather Desserud $5.50 USD 
3. Chawton Mittens by Anne Blayney (originally published in Jane Austen Knits) $4.50 CAD 
4. All You Need Is Love by Freshisle Fibers (love how they are reversed) $3.99 
5. Midwinter Rose Mittens by Marit Trudvang $5.50 USD 

All images from the patterns' Ravelry pages. No copyright infringement intended - just want to spread the love!

Today I chose five adult, stranded, fingering-weight mitten patterns, because I had to narrow it down somehow! Even still, there were eight pages of beautiful patterns. Clearly, more than one quick + purly mitten exploration is needed :)

Thanks for stopping by, and happy knitting!
