Throwback Thursday; Hand Knit Mitts From Finland

Many years ago, some relatives on my dad's side of the family came from Finland to visit. They brought two pairs of hand knit mitts for a gift for my parents. I didn't know anything about these mitts, years later Mom pulled them out of her drawer, gave the black background ones to me and white background ones to my sister. I think they're too lovely to wear, I like to take them out and admire them once in awhile. A lot of skill went into knitting these mitts, I sure wouldn't be able to do it!
