On bookish yarn projects #7

“But I don’t want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can’t help that," said the Cat: "we’re all mad here. I’m mad. You’re mad."
"How do you know I’m mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn’t have come here.”

This Ravelry pattern is free, fairly simply, and gives you a chance to practice your colorworking skills. If you’re as mad as the Cheshire Cat, you definitely need one of these in your living room.

“Why, sometimes I’ve believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast.”

These Alice in Wonderland mittens, fortunately, are not impossible and by no means unfeasible. With a pattern available on Ravelry and a 3.8 rating from the people who’ve replicated them, this is completely doable and perfect for any knittish reader. These are adorable, extremely clever, and so fun. And the best part? The White Rabbit even has a little pocket watch, which stands out beautifully against the grey and black. I also love the buttons on the side of the mitten - it gives the mitten a quirky look instead of being a straight mitten. I'll definitely be giving these a try when I have more time (and less half-finished knitting projects).
