But when my friend Terri Shea announced that she needed test knitters for a book project she was working it sounded so interesting that I volunteered right away.
I’m so glad that I did because this was a really enjoyable project. The only hard part was not being able to show anyone my finished mittens!
Now that Terri’s book, Selbuvotter: Biography of a Knitting Tradition, has gone to press I am free to share the mittens that I knit for her:
Even harder to send away than the Spin to Knit skein!
I was really happy with how the mittens turned out and I can’t wait to make another pair for myself. After seeing the beautiful samples Angela and Vanessa knit for Terri, I have a feeling these won’t be the only pair that I’ll want to make from this book!
Thank you, Terri, for letting me be a part of your Selbu mitten project, it was great fun. You are a mitten maven! I hope you sell a million copies!
What? You’re still here?
You should go already and buy a book from Teri!
Such a nice girl! Such a nice book!

Denise-those are awesome! I just ordered the book! I laughed when I read your profile - I too work in govt and I'm a systems developer! I also didn't know you were Unravelled! How cool is that?!! Take care! (Naomi from fair isle co-op)
beautiful mittens! Many many years ago I knitted them, but then my mother could help me to knit the thumb (give advice). I ordered the book last week and I.m looking forward to it.
My mum passed away july 1999, so I have to try the knitting wothout help!
