Sometimes there comes into your life something that makes you smile; something that lifts your spirits and gives you inspiration. For me it was discovering a pattern for a pair of mittens that I am going to knit! And the timing could not have been better. I live in Canada and winter has arrived early this year. Lately it has been cold, wet, and snowy. Perfect mitten-wearing weather.
So, to accentuate the positive, I have decided to embrace winter and make myself a pair of Galileo Mittens. Designed by Laura Chau, of Cosmic Pluto Knits, these beautiful mittens are sure to keep my hands warm throughout our long, long winter. I am sure Galileo himself would have loved such a wonderful pair of toasty mittens like these to wear on those cold February nights in 1610 when he sat outside for hours on end, watching the moons of Jupiter through his spyglass, as they travelled along their orbits.
When these mittens are done, I will be sure to post a picture, but for now, please enjoy these which were made by the designer herself. Thanks, Laura, for these heavenly mittens!
