My mum’s birthday was yesterday. I knitted her a pair of thrummed mittens because she’s been borrowing my red pair all winter and seems to really love them for long walks in the park with the dog.

I decided to knit hers up with some natural gray wool roving I had in my stash, as well as some Madelinetosh Tosh Vintage in the saffron colorway and I think they came out perfect. They will look nice with her black jacket and the roving on the inside is thick and extra warm.
