Knitting Mittens for My Kittens

My Top Ten Tips for Socializing Real Kittens

♥♥♥

    Once upon a time, long long ago, three little kittens needed some mittens. Although their momma was still a novice knitter, she took on the challenge. She followed Kelly's Mitten Class from KnitPicks. She began with the oldest and proceeded to the youngest.  The results weren't exactly perfect. In fact, her young son's mittens had some rather large thumbs! Nevertheless, her kittens loved their mittens.

    Once day, recently, the littlest kitten, who now has her own little kitten, sent her momma a Marco Polo video. Her little hands were tucked into her sleeves as she tried to drive! Oh my! Momma's needles to the rescue! Just as soon as momma's needles finished with her grandkitten's mittens, they began clicking away on little mommy kitten's mittens.

    My little kitten was thrilled to have mittens for her and for her little kitten. Needless to say, my knitting skills have increased dramatically. ~smile~ This time I used The World's Simplest Mitten from Tin Can Knits. They have an app now that makes it easy to follow just your size and keep track of your rows. It's great. I used it to make a Flax sweater for my grandkitten, too.

    I hope you have a wonderful week. It's looking to be a wintery cold one here in southern Missouri. Wherever you are, perhaps you'll take up your needles as well. If you do, you might enjoy a cup of homemade hot cocoa with your cozy blanket.

 "The three little kittens, they lost their mittens,"

By Mother Goose

The three little kittens, they lost their mittens,

And they began to cry,

"Oh, mother dear, we sadly fear,

That we have lost our mittens."

"What!   Lost your mittens, you naughty kittens!

Then you shall have no pie."

"Meow, meow, meow."

"Then you shall have no pie."

The three little kittens, they found their mittens,

And they began to cry,

"Oh, mother dear, see here, see here,

For we have found our mittens."

"Put on your mittens, you silly kittens,

And you shall have some pie."

"Purr, purr, purr,

Oh, let us have some pie."

The three little kittens put on their mittens,

And soon ate up the pie,

"Oh, mother dear, we greatly fear,

That we have soiled our mittens."

"What, soiled your mittens, you naughty kittens!"

Then they began to sigh,

"Meow, meow, meow,"

Then they began to sigh.

The three little kittens, they washed their mittens,

And hung them out to dry,

"Oh, mother dear, do you not hear,

That we have washed our mittens?"

"What, washed your mittens, then you're good kittens,

But I smell a rat close by."

"Meow, meow, meow,

We smell a rat close by."
