The Big Mitten Give
This is cool. Remember my review of Robin Melanson’s fantastic book Knitting New Mittens and Gloves? (buy it now!) STC is giving away the pattern for her Alternating Current gloves for free. They ask that if you download the pattern you also knit a pair for someone in need. What a great idea!
I’m knitting my head off these days on a new pattern that will be released sometime in the near future. It’s tweedy and tasty and perfect for winter. No photos yet, I’m still working out one of the complex bits and what is already knitted isn’t terribly interesting. It’s very “oh look, stockinette…wow” right now, so I shan’t bore you. But I will say that the Plymouth Tweed I am using is fantastic and has some properties I haven’t seen before that come in handy for the pattern.
