I adore fine-gauge knitting and mittens are my favorite project. I don't knit many fine-gauge mittens because they aren't very warm. I had to make an exception in this case.



These mittens are from Sheila McGregor's Traditional Scandinavian Knitting. I had to make them because of the little ladies. The author says red and white are the traditional colors for these mittens. I'm using Nature Spun fingering weight (do they even make that any more?) and size 1 dpns. I'm changing the thumb and changing the cuff. I thought I'd add more little people. Doesn't it look like they are square dancing?
