Knitting Inventions and a Mitten Exhibition // Casual Friday S5E08

In this week's Casual Friday, I have a progress update on my Finish it February projects, I visit a Norwegian Mitten Exhibition, and I discover two patented inventions for improving intarsia yarn management (1955 and 1985). Tidbits will be back next week!
