Close-Knit Sisters
Handcrafted Prototype

Wrapped up in cozy stitches and sisterly charm, this darling pair of mittens tells a story sweeter than hot cocoa on a snowy afternoon. One in rosy pink, the other in cheerful green, they lean into each other just like sisters do—close, comfortable, and completely inseparable. Between them rests a glittery heart, proudly proclaiming Close-Knit Sisters 2011—because some bonds aren’t just strong… they’re stitched together for life.

You can almost hear the giggles, feel the warmth, and sense just a hint of “I borrowed it without asking” energy tucked into every thread.

This Friday, April 17, from 9:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. CT, you’ll have the chance to bring home not just this charming Keepsake Ornament, but something even more special—a beautifully displayed shadow box pairing the ornament with Keepsake Artist Ruth Donikowski’s original knit design. Both are finished with her signature and a heart.

Set against a sleek black backdrop, the pink and green pop like a winter day brightened by laughter, making it a piece that feels just as at home on display as it does in memory.
