Recreating an old friend.

The other day a good friend of mine came with one old battered mitten and looked very pleadingly at me. I'm the only one she knows who knit, and there was the old favourite mitten her grandma had made for her long time ago. Worn to pieces, only one left...


Could I make her new ones? Not wanting to let a good friend down I took the old faithful and said yes off course! The fact was that I have never knitted mittens before. That has changed now. It was fairly easy to copy what her grandma did years ago. I have not yet presented the mittens to my friend. The one thing I fear I have not been able to copy is the good old feeling of wearing the favourite mittens. They look the same but to they feel the same? Only my friend can tell!
