My father told me that his grandmother, Minnie, used to
make quilts. They were not art, he assured me, just made up of
snippets of old clothes , so as not to waste fabric and used to keep
warm. He remembers one, he says, all in grays and blacks and plaids.
Not art, he says, not meant to be beautiful.
Sounds like beauty to me. Maybe even art...

Cute mittens from the Purl Bee
I am enjoying these quick mittens. Almost feels like cheating because I am using felted wool and not knitting the whole things.
What great mittens -- they will be SO warm!
