The Big Mitten Give

I think that this is a GREAT idea so I would like to pass it along. The pattern for the Alternating Current mittens from Robin Melanson's new book, Knitting New Mittens & Gloves (which is edited by Melanie Falick whose books I enthusiastically recommend to anyone who will listen) is available for free download. The "catch" is that, should you download the pattern, you are to knit a pair of mittens for charity! What a wonderful bribe. I originally read about this on purlbee but I love the photo on Melanie's blog so much that I'm linking it as well.
