Birddog Hunting Mitts Published

 Inspired by this beautiful picture of Scotland taken by Sven Riddell, and of course by my darling rescued English setters, Lady Claire, Nobunaga and Sherlock Holmes...I wanted to make some fingerless mitts in Scottish yarns to celebrate these darling doggies. 

 With the generous help of Japanese designer Takeko Tanabe, I made it happen! Knitted with Jamieson's Shetland Spindrift which I bought in Tokyo, I hope it makes a lot of people happy and raises awareness of the plight of abandoned birddogs, these beautiful creatures who make the best family pets!

 So go to Ravelry and download the free pattern, Birddog Hunting Mitts and off you go knitting to spice up your winter wardrobe. And spare a moment for the doggies, and adopt, foster, or maybe just find out about and donate to your local birddog rescue!
