Dear Sun Spots: Thank you so much for all the information you provide to your readers. Once again I am seeking your help.

I am looking for complete instructions for making a mitten that is double thickness when finished. A very nice lady at the store told me how to start the mitten but I would like to know the way to continue after doing the cuff. The pattern included knit and purl but you only slipped the purl stitch each time, instead of actually doing a purl.

Anyone who knows of this pattern may reach me at 933-4229. I can pick up the pattern or reimburse the postage if they choose to mail it. Thanks again. – Sandy Porter, No Town.
