Spring mittens....

.....is the English name for this pattern.

In Norwegian they are called 

Vår votter.

The colors of my backyard

had me choose green and red.

Our winter has been very mild  this year,

my fall flowers are still blooming,

the grass and the bushes are still green,

and  the red peppers shows well in all the green.

Some afternoons have been spent outside,

coffee on the table,

mittens in my lap.

I love these mild winter days!

The heat of the Texas summers 

will be here soon enough.

However, 

its only February,

and we could still have a freeze 

coming our way.

This pattern can be found at Ravlry and in my Etsy store,

in both English and Norwegian.
