Christine Legrow and Shirley A. Scott bring us more than 20 heritage mitten patterns from 40 years of Newfoundland history. These patterns go mitt in mitt with Briggs & Little yarns.

From the publisher:

"Woollen mittens have long been a Newfoundlander’s best friend. The warmer the better, in a quirky climate of freeze, thaw, blow, and drizzle...These mittens are as practical as they are beautiful—double-knit with two colours means twice the warmth and wind resistance. The patterns are rated by difficulty and varied in style. These include trigger mitts, wristers, five-finger mittens (a.k.a. gloves), fingerless mitts for wee ones, and, of course, classic mittens for all.   The dozens of colour photographs will inspire you to make your own bold colour choices.

The nuggets of history, and tales of mittens and their knitters, make Saltwater Mittens a book knitters and non-knitters alike can enjoy."
