Can you believe it? There is 6 weeks or only 44 days until Christmas! Give the knitters and makers in your life (or yourself) the beautiful yarn or tools that will make them very happy! If you are a maker, what is on your Wish List?
Do you have a sweater on your needles or are you gift knitting?
Bits & Pieces Mittens by Mia Dehmer / Vickevira would make wonderful gifts and a perfect way to make something beautiful and useful from your leftover yarns. Mix colours freely, use what you already have and let every pair become completely unique.
The pattern includes instructions for both regular stranded knitting and traditional Swedish twined knitting (tvåändsstickning).
If you are curious about learning twined knitting, you can find several good tutorials on YouTube by searching for the Swedish word tvåändsstickning.

Jane Mittens by Ysolda Teague are double-layered, fully reversible, and worked as a single long tube, from fingertip to fingertip. When you’re done, you’ll tuck one end inside the other and voila, mittens! Done-for-you numbers are included for seven sizes, and yarn weights from fingering to worsted. They’re constructed just like the best-selling Musselburgh hat, so there’s absolutely no swatching required.
Perfect for stash-busting: get creative with colour-blocking, stripes or different textures on each layer. The Jane mittens feature after-thought thumbs and a neat, comfortable thumb gusset that’s perfectly mirrored on each half. Choose to work short cuffs or make them extra long so they can be folded down to reveal the inner layer.
The Jane Mittens are exclusive to Knitworthy 10. Individual patterns will be released mid-December 2026.

I really haven't managed to fit in much knitting this month. My Dragonfly Sweater by Elenor Mortensen has only progressed by a few rounds. I am knitting it using the Life in the Long Grass Sport that I bought from Stolen Stitches by Carol Feller when I was in Cork, Ireland during the Knit, Purl Cruise.
