Leap Year Traditions-The Yarn Edition

Posted by Allison | Feb 29, 2016 | Free Patterns | 0

Traditionally, February 29th is the day that a woman can ask a man to marry her. Sure, times have changed but this tradition isn’t so bad. In some European countries, such as Denmark, tradition says any man who refuses a woman’s proposal on February 29 has to buy her 12 pairs of gloves. In Finland, it changes to fabric for a skirt. If it landed me some beautiful fingerless mitts, I might not mind having those instead of a husband some days! Here are some fun and free patterns to celebrate these traditions. Enjoy!

I've been with Plymouth Yarn for about 15 years as a customer service rep and social media contributor. I love to knit and crochet and have recently started to learn to weave! I have always loved crafts from scrap booking to floral arrangements. My next challenge might be quilting. I also love technology, you can find me anytime on Plymouth's facebook or twitter page. Come by and say hi. I am married to the greatest guy and the best father around and I have a 12 year old boy at home who can attest to that.
