	Name: Acorn Mittens
	Yarn Type: Light Worsted
	Difficulty:

	Description: My Grandma Tye made me mittens. Brown dense wool mittens that I loved. Every year I had to confess that I had lost yet another one, for some reason, always the left one. And every year without a cross word to me she would make me a new pair. Never just the left, for they had to match. I have two right mittens and no Grandma Tye to make these for me anymore. But she taught me to knit, so here is my careful counting out of what I have left, with a flap to hopefully keep them from being lost. P. S…I jazzed up the yarn choice.

	Name: Double Trouble Scarf
	Yarn Type: Worsted
	Difficulty:

	Description: Here is a fun way to try double knitting and end up with a fantastic scarf. In double knitting you knit the front and back at the same time. This scarf focuses on the knitting, so there is just the long tail cast on and traditional cast off, since fringe is used. A great project for getting fast at two handed knitting, but it can be done just knitting in a traditional manner. Pick a fun fake fur and a worsted weight yarn and give it a try. I have included a fun, easy scarf to try if you don’t like the technique of double knitting, but do give it a good fair trial.
