Lately I've become obsessed with intarsia mittens from Norway, Sweden, and anywhere else. I haven't been able to learn all that much about the history and the background behind all the amazing designs I've seen, but I hope to in the future (the local libraries I went to yesterday were lacking some serious... everything, weakest libraries I've ever been to for sure). Besides the history, the images I've found and the patterns (free mostly too!) have made me feel completely inspired to try my own. I have tons of ideas for these mittens I hope to accomplish (I've started my own simple pair out of the one decent book about Norwegian mittens I was able to find at a local library). So I thought I'd share with you some of the amazing mittens I found while prowling around the internet, hope you get just as inspired as me!
If you are interested in more patterns (free too, the best kind of patterns) then check out
