Our October designer is Mary O’Shea. I learned about Mary while traveling in Maine this summer and liked her mitten and hat designs. Mary is from North Orland, Maine and recently retired as a middle school science teacher.
What we love about Mary’s designs are the colorful options and her mitten design technique where she knits in a wooly worsted weight yarn at a fairly snug gauge, proof against bitter winter winds! The thumb gusset is placed just to the edge of the palm, giving a comfortable ergonomic fit.
Mary’s designs can be found on her Ravelry site or her website http://tullymongandesigns.com
After growing up in the city and suburbs, the owners of Get Bentz Farm felt a need to be closer to nature and to be more connected to where their food came from.
