Tashmoo mitts

The “TASHMOO” mitts — soft, warm, and stylish — are the perfect accessory for chilly commutes! My friend Jane, who lives on the picturesque island of Martha’s Vineyard, often travels by ferry to visit my brother-in-law Eric on the mainland. To keep her hands cozy during these ferry rides, I crafted these beautiful mitts inspired by the serene deep blue colors and all-over cable pattern that echo the gentle waves of Lake Tashmoo, located near her home.
