With rich colors and explosions of blooms there is nothing timid about Clematis. Worked in the intense colors of the Indie Dyer's subtly variegated "Sock-it-to-Me" yarn these mittens are reminiscent of the lovingly worked tapestries and carpets from another time and place.
Deep textured cuffs keep wrists warm.
Bright colors spice up dark or neutral winter coats.

I think one of the best things about your patterns is that your kids are the models for them! You kids are beautiful and I love how they show off Mom's knits!
