That deleted comment was mine as I signed in under the wrong journaling account...<br /><br />I am so, so happy you chose to do a mitt study at this time. They are probably one of the next things on my to-sew list! You wouldn't have any intention of possibly doing cloaks at some point would you?Annahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03095426164654110973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5813354351680599871.post-84134914373885355542011-04-21T17:47:39.499-04:002011-04-21T17:47:39.499-04:00This comment has been removed by the author.LadyLibrariennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04885110245558012537noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5813354351680599871.post-85221082631456178652011-04-21T10:58:40.153-04:002011-04-21T10:58:40.153-04:00I think it was just artistic purposes.

Some sort of half-casual look, just a little jaunty. It'd be an interesting study to see if it was more the artists preference of painting an unworn mitt/glove or perhaps it meant something more!ColeVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06677760179064796377noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5813354351680599871.post-59880631727658535142011-04-21T10:06:21.850-04:002011-04-21T10:06:21.850-04:00Is there a reason why you would wear only one?
