DD#1 bought The Three Year Old a pair of those little gloves for him to wear on chilly days. Then I knit him a pair of mittens for Christmas. After that he didn't want to wear the store bought gloves any more he demanded Grandma's mittens. Of course, being a three year old, he often misplaced the mittens and ended up with cold hands so DD#1 asked me to knit him another pair. I picked out a variegated blue yarn to match his winter coat and let him pick a the yarn for another pair, from my stash. He chose the yellow.
