It’s here !
a more colorful ,
perhaps even more complex
sister of the original ” Jenjoyce Pin-Striped Fingerless Mitt ” . . .
A smply understated color stranding concept~ yet serious enough of a Fair-Isle effect, but on a completely basic scale. Therefore, I think this mitt & pattern is perfect for one who wants to learn how to do stranded color work.
Details about this project on Ravelry HERE.
I’d also like to thank Morrie & Lizzi for giving me all the help & support that can possibly be given.
xxx I heart you both ! xxx
Fabulous – that’s lovely! X
Thank you so much my friend Kelly !!! I will be catching up with you very soon… but first…I must out and walk !
LOVE it. I love colour work…and these are crazy awesome!
AWE THANKS Debbie !!! I think you’re crazy awesome too… 🙂 How about a pair in ‘bug guts green’ for your little man? 🙂
I’m most certain he would LOVE that. <3
Yeah, like bug guts green , fishing pond blue, and mothy pupae grey ? 😉
Oh…you know him so well already. 🙂
Why not ask him to make up his own favorite colors? 🙂
“Blue…and Red…and Green.” 🙂 (he thinks they are very cool.)
I heart you right back. These are so cute. I love the shorter version too. This is a great place for me to get in touch with color stranding. I understand the concept, but I need a little practice carrying 2 colors at a time, and what? you get to have a rest row with the main color.
Yes Morrie, the perfect ‘warm-up’ to a more complicated Fair Isle pattern ! The way I do color stranding is the Fair Isle method , with one color knitting in left, and the other in the right… like this excellent video shows (which, along with Alice Starmore’s “Fair Isle Knitting” book, is how I learned ) : http://www.philosopherswool.com/Pages/Twohandedvideo.htm
I love the original pinstripe mitt pattern & would love to give these a try! The link comes up as 404/Not Found at Ravelry. Is this pattern still available?
Hello! The pattern for these evolved into Tartan & Tweed Mitts, which can be found here: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/tartan–tweed-mitts
Excellent– Thanks!
So glad you like the new redesign, and… there’s a tam to go with it ! 🙂 Happy Knitting. xx
