Top Down Mittens Tutorial

After a few emails, I thought I would write a quick post about the Sottosopra Top Down Mittens. Within the magazine, there are wonderful photos that explain how to do the cast on for the mittens. The cast on is a Middle Eastern cast on which is one of my favorites and is the same cast on for my Toe Up Socks pattern too. Cheryl (a friend who is the most amazing photographer (Ewan, Ava Beret, Mary's Cardi etc.) and Ewan, Mary and Lynn's Mom) and I spent an afternoon taking really up close photos to describe each step for the Middle Eastern cast on. At some point I'm going to make a video to help illustrate this great cast on. Cheers!
