January 2023 Update: This pattern has been rewritten, tested and updated for a roomier fit and more detailed instruction. Thank you to everyone who tried the first version! This pattern is for a ‘Smitten’ hand holding mitten. Made with post stitches, it is thick and cozy, perfect for holding hands or for using as a two hand mitten for yourself! This is a fairly simple pattern, great if you want to try colour work for the first time! You can use any worsted weight yarn, and it is easily adjustable for size should you need it. Stitches you will need to know: FPDC, FPHDC, BPHDC.
Hello and thank you for stopping by! The pattern includes charts, a photo tutorial and row-by-row instructions for sizes S - M/L - XL and it is easily customisable. It is knitted using 2.50 mm (1.5 US size) circular needles (or double pointed needles if you prefer) using Mayflower Easy Care Tweed yarn, but any fingering weight or sock yarn will do. You will find a few yarn alternatives listed in the pattern. You will need anywhere between 65 grams and 80 grams of yarn for both gloves, so I recommend getting two 50 g skeins or one 100 g one, depending on your choice of yarn. The gauge is 40x50 sts in a 10x10 cm or 4x4’’ square. If you can’t meet the gauge, try downsizing your needles (2.25 mm or even 2 mm) and go from there. I recommend this pattern for intermediate and advanced knitters, but I think it is detailed enough for beginners as well. If you are a beginner and you find you need additional help tackling these gloves - I will happily assist you! Thank you for reading & happy knitting!

Xtra Tuff Love brought to you by AlaskanDermish.etsy.com Ah, Valentine's Day. Every year, if I actually have a date, inevitably my wonder boy doesn't "believe" in the holiday. How can you not believe in a holiday? It's on every calendar out there! But my conspiracy theorist exes would have you convinced that the card folders are in cahoots with the chocolate dippers who in turn scratch the backs of the jewelry setters who are definitely in bed with the flower de-thorners who, of course, all own the calendar cutters. And this maze of deception has one end, to get their precious money that they otherwise would be spending on a 60-inch flatscreen with surround sound. So this year there will be no more excuses. Let me help you put the craft back in Valencraftines Day and believe once again in a holiday free of commercialism. Make it Yourself: The Smitten Chances are it will always be freezing in Alaska on Valentine's Day, so it's a safe bet that your honey could use a good warm snuggle this Feb. 14. Nothing says, "I want to snuggle with you" like the Smitten Mitten. Specifically designed for lovers, this double-wide mitten allows for hand canoodling. You can even knit your own Smitten thanks to the folks at CocoKnits who are currently providing a free pattern for their design (store.cocoknits.com/products/smitten.html). Make it Yourself: Chocolate Dipped Strawberries Make your own box of chocolates this year and knock Whitman out of the water. You'll need chocolate chips, cleaned strawberries and wax paper to start. In a double-boiler heat the chocolate chips on medium while stirring constantly. Dry everything thoroughly, including the strawberries, so the chocolate comes out smooth. Once the chocolate has melted, dip the strawberries halfway in and then place them on a wax-paper lined cookie sheet. Let the chocolate cool, pop them in a pretty box and give them to your loved one. Try a variety of fruits like bananas and berries for a "sampler." (click here for a banana version tutorial) Buy it Local and Handmade: Etsy Love Etsy (www.etsy.com) valentine treasuries can lead to hundreds of handmade gifts including cards, jewelry, scarves, hats and more. But nothing says love like buying local too. Pick up a set of LOVE cookies with a side of pink cinnamon heart marshmallows handmade in Seward by the Alaskan Dermish (alaskandermish.etsy.com). She also makes super-Alaskan Xtratuf cake toppers if this Valentine's Day turns into the Big Day. Need a gift for the little loved one in your life? Head over to Moose Haves (moosehaves.etsy.com) whose tagline, "Fur the cute and wild" says it all. Hair ties that look like Sweetheart candies and felt lolly wands make kiddy valentines for the young and young at heart. Hit the "Shop Local" button for more Alaskan treats made for you. Buy it Local and Handmade: Juneau Has it All Don't forget to beat the streets and find gifts right here at home. Homespun Mercantile in the Airport Shopping Center is filled with handmade goodies sure to delight your loved one. If you live in town try the Senate Building, which is filled with shops that cater to the crafty and have local handmade products, just ask the staff. On your way out don't forget to grab some fudgy love at The Alaskan Fudge Company. Out in the Auke? Never fear! The UAS bookstore has a plethora of fair-trade goodies, though not all are made in Juneau. However you decide to celebrate this season, don't let the man take your love away. Reclaim Valentine's Day this year and help us all believe that love is worth more than a flatscreen.

FAST FORWARD MITTENS The pattern uses a combination of written-out instructions and a chart. For all of you who don’t like charts, I included a transcription of the chart as a separate file. When it’s getting dark and cold outside, these fingerless mittens will add some sunshine to your day! The pattern is easy and quick and the yarn is so soft and snuggly, you won’t want to take them off again. So grab some worsted yarn and thick needles, make yourself a cup of tea and in a few hours you will actually look forward to the next cold and rainy day :) Notes: Finished measurements after blocking: 22.5 cm x 8 cm (8.8 in x 3.1 in) - long version 17.5 cm x 8 cm (6.9 in x 3.1 in) - short version The sample shows the mittens (long version) in 37 Frank Ochre. One skein of Malabrigo Worsted is enough to make one long pair and one short pair or two short pairs. Note: The PDF features written instructions with a chart.

I love the activities, the I Can statements, the standards each activity addresses and the recording sheets to show the students are working on mastery and what extra help they need! I highly recommend purchasing this product because it will make your Stations more productive and aligned with the standards.” - Daniela S. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “I was new to kindergarten this year and her center work was great in helping my students get to work at their centers/workstations. The format was the same and for a lot of the activities which students were able to work independently while I worked with small groups.” - Pattie P. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ “Once you prep the pieces they are so easy to grab for a quick literacy or math center. I love that a lot of the activities stay the same but change to match themes. Once you have modeled an activity the students will know what to do because the process is the same. This is such a great resource and is totally worth the money.” - Katie C.
