LIV MITTS From the Nordic Knitting Primer by Kristin Drysdale

This is from Chapter 1 of the Nordic Knitting Primer. You may think it’s funny to have a project made with a single color in a colorwork book. I use these mitts to teach you all the different basic skills you need to become a successful colorwork knitter.
Use these mitt to learn to knit and purl in your right and in your left hand. These skills are the basics for colorwork. The Nordic Knitting Primer includes step-by-step photo tutorials for each skill taught.

I love to make something beautiful while I am learning a new skill.
These mitts are knit with beautiful Woolfolk Får. They are so cozy and make a great gift.
