I explained the concept of forethought thumbs to my mum, and she’s had her suspicions since I went to uni to read physics, but now she has decided I am either brilliant or magical.

It’s just the pattern but thanks mum

Palestine mitts, pattern based on traditional Palestinian tatreez (embroidery) patterns by Line Sølvskudt. Made by me. #knitting
Triangle-ended mittens. The palm side has the black netting seen in most keffiye. The back side has the Palestinian flag colours of black, white and green with a red triangle on the side (here a square, to form the triangular top). Each colour is not a solid block, but patterned according to traditional symbols. The green has ears of grain, the black a graphic “tree of life”, and the red a star of Bethlehem, which many of us recognise also from Nordic patterns.
