These traditional Newfoundland mittens are patterns that every knitter should have in their collection.
This book is a collection of rare mitten patterns collected, and in some cases recreated, by Christine LeGrow of Spindrift Handknits and Shirley "Shirl the Purl" Scott. These two women have teamed up to preserve and promote traditional Newfoundland knitting.
By assembling patterns for hand—knit items such as trigger mitts, flap caps and scarves these women are keeping knitting culture alive.
Christine LeGrow is the owner of Spindrift, which offers a unique collection of handknits in the tradition of Newfoundland.
Shirley Anne Scott is a mitten designer specializes in combining history with knitting. She loves to re—create heritage garments, ensuring that the craft skills of our worthy ancestors are not lost.
