Foliage Lace Mitts

Foliage Lace Mitts
As you may have seen in my last post, I have been working on a lace shawl. I began knitting it last summer but was a bit too frustrated with the pace of knitting lace (slow) as well as the amount of concentration required for such an endeavor (lots). I put it away with the best intentions of coming back to it at some point. That point happened to be a full year later on the eve before I embarked to California. Alas, after all of the progress I have made on said shawl, the weather is turning colder and I am hearing the beckoning call of worsted weight yarn. You remember the time I was without internet?

Ishbel & Elena Mitts | Exchanging Fire These fingerless mitts were inspired when a friend’s search for a matching pattern to go with her newly knit Ishbel Beret was unsuccessful. After helping to turn over the last stone on the Internet, I decided there was nothing left to do but write up a pattern for her. The mitts come in two forms – Ishbel and Elena – the Scottish and Slovakian forms of my two new cousins’ names and a nod to our shared heritage. Just like the sisters they are named after, both designs feature the same traditional vine lace pattern, but with a slight visual difference – one stands up straight while the other meanders along the wrist. Each flows into the parallel lines of a razorshell lace panel over the back of the hand. A decorative lace border across the knuckles creates a delicate cast-off edge. Three sizes are available for these mitts: petite/small (6/6.5 inches), medium/large (7/7.5 inches) and extra-large (8/8.5 inches). Like this: Like Loading...

Colorblock Hand Warmers The sweet spot of knitting, for me, is when it starts to feel a lot like painting. When the form is fluid and mutable and when the palette is supple and free, then I feel that knitting really hits its creative stride. Creating these Colorblock Hand Warmers delivers just that kind of deeply satisfying experience. The idea behind these simple mitts was to give free rein to the gorgeous colors of Madeline Tosh Merino Light, to allow the spectacularly hand dyed palette to speak its own story and to create its own beauty: from moonlight gray to buttery yellow to bronzed apricot to blazing tangerine.

Elle parait d'une qualité exceptionnelle, très douce et régulière. Le point gaufré est très simple mais d'un bel effet : 2 rangs de côtes 2x2 2 rangs endroit. Il ne m'a fallu qu'une pelote, heureusement car je n'en avais qu'une! Ces mitaines ne sont pas pour moi, mais chut...... Je vous souhaite de beux tricots BELLE JOURNEE de TRICOT

Quilted Lattice Mitts I absolutely love they Leyburn Socks, but I’m really not much of a sock knitter. There’s something that just makes me sad about spending 20+ hours on a knitted item, and then wearing it where no one will see it. However, I loved the pattern enough that I decided to adapt it into a beautiful pair of fingerless gloves. This pattern is available as a free download on Ravelry, and you can get it by clicking here. The pattern as written provides a comfortable fit for hands 5.5 inches around the wrist and 7 inches around the largest part of the knuckles. This pattern looks fantastic in variegated yarns, but I have also included instructions for working the gloves in a stranded pattern using two solid or semi-solid yarns. This is a quick knit, requiring about 4 hours per mitt. (What, you thought I only made one pair?)
