Berroco’s Tiny Twelve

by Brenda Dayne on November 5, 2008

Some would say it’s far too early for the C word. I think not.

I saw mince pies at the Co-op this week. Plus, that most excellent of British sweeties, only in the stores at this time of year, Brandy Beans. Every year I eat more than is good for me, and then somehow manage to forget that they exist. And every year I surprised and delighted to discover them all over again. Anyway, with all these signs of the impending season, I know I’m not the only one thinking about … you know what.

I’m getting the jump on my holiday knitting this year with Berroco’s tiny twelve. So cute! These miniature sweaters are perfect for using wee bits of DK or sock yarn we all have hanging around, and the pattern is free.
