The Mitten Tree
William refused to wear mittens a few weeks ago. But it was still rather warm so it really didn;t matter. But as the snow came and the temperature dropped, I knew he needed something warm on his hands. So I made him a pair, and he wore them each time he went outside. They were black and white and I called them his zebra mittens. He liked that. (Sorry no photo) Then my DD noticed that his wrists were cold,. She asked me to make him a pair of mittens that would go all the way to his elbows. I did and I hung them on my little Christmas tree. The reason I did that is simple.
At the library where William gets his books they had a Mitten Tree. Patrons were asked to hang a pair of mittens on the tree. Their tree was based on the book, The Mitten Tree. It's a cute story about an old lady who knitts a pair of mittens for a young boy who didn't have any to keep his hands warm. The mittens on the library's tree will be donated to a shelter. Hats and other warm things were also asked for.
I had made several pairs of mittens and hats over the past year. My DD asked me if William could have them to hang on the tree. I eagerly obliged. He took his task very serious loved it. Now he wants to hang all kinds of things on my tree. I also finished a pair of socks that I started a long time ago. I thought they would keep his feet warm this winter.
I took them off the tree to photograph them. By the time I got around to taking the photo my tree was full of decorations. Now I have a new task. The mittens I made were to go over his coat. That's what I thought anyway. My DD wants a pair that will go inside his coat. She's quite demanding. LOL But I still have some time before Christmas. So that is what I will do.
