Answer 3

I think the Classic 4 Needle Mittens are wonderful for someone who is getting back into knitting.

You can do a child's mitten in an afternoon. It has everything. Using markers, increasing, stitch holders, picking up stitches.

These things keep the boredom, from doing the straight knitting.  You can put in a cable, or do a seed stitch, or do straight knitting.

What I used to do is make two sets. Because you will be making two to complete your project. Get two colors. Such as do a blue mitten, then a red mitten, then a blue mitten then a red. That way you won't get tired of staring at the same color.

Or you could do a search for classic 4 needle mittens.  

What's nice is it's not a big project so you can bring it wherever you go.
