Mittens & Muir


 "In every walk with nature one receives far more than he seeks.”
John Muir



This week I have been spinning up a storm...so I decided to make some simple mittens.
I just winged the pattern and they fit pretty good.
I am in the middle of Muir- I love Muir for everything he has done for our national parks, he was a great naturalist. Did you know he was from Scotland and that he founded The Sierra Club?
The book is
The Wild Muir
Twenty-two of John Muir's greatest adventures
 
What wild adventure are you up too?

  1. Nice to see that you're continuing to use your spun yarn. Muir is such a fascinating man. He grew up in my state of Wisconsin. I did a lengthy paper on him when I was in tech school. If I remember right, he also "invented" the 8-hour work day.
