    About

    When I paired these two colours with the star-and-moon buttons, everything fell into place: These mitts had to become The Astronomer’s Mitts!
    They're the first pair of mitts in a little series that commemorates extraordinary women: In this case Caroline Herschel, born in 1750. Starting out as a mere secretary to her famous brother William, she gradually became a recognised astronomer in her own right. When her work was recognised by the English crown and earned her an official government position, Caroline Herschel was the first woman to receive a salary for scientific research!
