three little kittens

Madeline lost a mitten at the supermarket the other night. I'm kind of sad because it was one of the hand-knitted ones, a purple and green striped number, from NONIA.  The first time we were there, I thought it was just a store that sold hand-knitted items, but it turns out that it's an organization of knitters who sell their creations to fund medical care for remote areas in the province, which is kind of cool. When Chris was in St. John's in December to find our house here, he picked up a pair of socks and a Christmas stocking. Since I've been here, I've bought M two pairs of mittens and a wool hat for myself.

I think I read somewhere that NONIA takes special orders, so hopefully if Madeline's mitten doesn't show up in the lost and found at the supermarket, I'll be able to order a matching one anyway.
