—I can measure the severity of this winter by the amount of #mending needed on my #mittens. I added #darning in pink to the palm of the right mitten yesterday (1st pic): that’s the 7th mend this season. Duplicate stitch in #Noro #Kureyon #wool. The other side is intact!

—more #mending on my flip-top #mittens. Last night I noticed that one area was getting threadbare. I still wore the mittens today while shoveling snow, only to find halfway through that I had created two new holes. But now I’m ready for the coming cold snap.

—my mittens are in heavy rotation this winter and they keep developing new holes. The new areas of #darning this week are the pink area on the flip-top of the left mitten, the olive green area on the left thumb, and the pink area on the right middle finger. Duplicate stitch in #Noro #Kureyon #wool.

—I’ve mended my #glittens! The thumb of one just needed a loose stitch secured, but the pinkie on the other had a hole that took me an hour to fix. #Noro #Kureyon #wool and a #darning needle. Ready for winter! They are really warm.
