I’ve just finished my latest design, tartan-inspired, Fair Isle knitted, and I am naming it “Tartan & Tweed”. The very interesting thing is that the Shetland wool ‘fuses’ to itself so well that I’m not worried the short floats will catch on anything. Other yarns, yes … Shetland yarn, not. The best part of this project is that I am finished with the pattern very soon, and then you may get started on your very own Tartan & Tweed knitted mitts!
Every once in a while , I see my knitting against ‘just the right’ light , and I leap for the camera. Sun rays streaming through the sky window and catching the dangling yarns , reminding me of a glistening web in the morning dewy sun beams. This was one of those moments. I am simply knitting Fair Isle work on still another, and third, pattern prototype mitt, trying to keep the yarns from tangling, while I knit standing up.
