There’s something magical about keeping a promise—especially one that’s lingered between friends for years. This week, my needles danced with cashmere, conjuring a pair of mittens both luxurious and practical. Cashmere is irresistible: soft as clouds, warm as a secret, and a delight against the skin. Honestly, it almost distracted me from the task at hand!
The mittens are for a dear friend—someone who stands out in a crowd and whose quirks have always made the world brighter. Crafting these was my way of honouring not just a promise, but the difference that makes him unique.
They’re not your ordinary mittens, either. Cleverly designed, they can be rolled back to bare your fingers (should you need the dexterity for a midnight snack, perhaps) or pulled snug if the night turns chill. I hope he wraps himself in their warmth on cold evenings and feels the care knit into every stitch.
Is there a lovelier sensation than cashmere gliding through the fingers … except, perhaps, the satisfaction of finally making good on a long-standing promise? May these mittens be both shield and companion—a touch of comfort in our unpredictable world.
