It’s Cazza’s fault I started these. She asked for suggestions for substitutions for Eunny Jang’s Endpaper Mitts pattern. I kindly helped her to look for suitable subs and then got to thinking how nice they’d be in brown and pink to match my winter coat. But I didn’t have the yarn so that wasn’t going to happen.
