Whit's Knits: Felted Thanksgiving Oven Mitt

The thought of Thanksgiving puts me right into the heat of my mother's kitchen. We chop and stir and baste for days, scrupulously following stuffing recipes 5 pages long, peeling endless sweet potatoes like we're in the galley of an aircraft carrier, praying that some relative will notice the difference between a parsnip and a turnip and the fact that we've pureed both.

Of course all the toil is an act of love, with just a little bit of strife along the way. I thought I'd ease the journey this year with the undeniable pleasure of a handknit oven mitt. I think every basting will be a joy...!

Beautiful! I love this and so many of the projects on your site.

I live in Massachusetts, but will be in NYC in a couple of weeks and I can't wait to check out purlsoho! I don't knit, but I love to sew and your fabrics look FABULOUS!

What a gorgeous mitt! The colors felted together in a way that reminds me of hand-blown glass. Absolutely beautiful!

I'm also very excited because my last attempt at a felted mitt... did not work!
