On the Other Hand £4.25
The first joint MKAL by Sarah Alderson and Ann Kingstone
This MKAL was designed to stretch your creativity by giving you not one, but two options for each section of the fingerless mittens. You may decide to make both mittens the same, or On The Other Hand you may decide to make them different.
Each section has one design by Sarah Alderson and one design by Ann Kingstone. They can be mixed and matched giving you twelve different mitten pattern options in total!
We will be holding hands with you throughout the MKAL with online video tutorials and advice on our blogs, Periscope, Twitter, Intstagram and Facebook groups. We would also love you to join us in our Ravelry group where we will have forum threads for each update, spoiler threads and a finished mitten thread as well as chat and prize giveaways. We love seeing your colour and yarn choices and sharing with you the fun of a MKAL.
