Warm Hands

Here is a new pattern I am working on for fingerless gloves to be called Slipcovers. It is knit from the fingers down and has a unique thumb gusset. It is easy to adapt for multiple sizes of hands or different weights of yarn. I can easily knit a pair with less than 50 grams of yarn! Look for a pattern to be released soon….I think i need to find a hand model though.

Four-Way Chilly in Action

Here is the hat modeled by my son David. I need to get some more yarn to knit the aran/worsted weight version. I’m going to use Rowan Pure Wool, another soft superwash wool available at Silk Road Textiles. This time it will be in blue for my other son Tyler.    Once I make sure the numbers are accurate for both sizes, I have a couple of test knitters lined up to try it.   After that, I will make it available for purchase.

This is my new hat pattern. It is knit from 100% bulky wool (superwash for easy care).  The ribbing is a double thick hem for an extra chilly day, but it could be knit as a single thickness as well.  It has four stitch patterns to give it interesting texture.   Hence the name, Four-Way Chilly. I am going to make up a  worsted weight version as well and will likely be offering the pattern on Ravelry.  Look for it as soon as I can write it up and have it test knit.
