Here is a picture of mittens I made for the upcoming queen. Her persona is from 12th century Denmark, so I based the design on a medieval mitten found in Ribe. I used the Mammen stitch. The gauge of the stitches is closer to the actual artifact than my first attempt to reproduce it. The pattern isn't quire right yet, but I'm getting closer. The wool was spun on one of my 8th century reproduction spindles. The embroidery is based on a Viking design found on the Danish island of Soro.
