Rainy Day Fingerless Gloves
So remember when I said I spent most of the summer working on design projects? Let me introduce you to Ms. August:
Hola! We are not mittens.
I know...the shock, right? When Tanis over at Knit.1 asked for a "dream project" for the story they were putting together on bloggers, this idea fell together pretty quickly. I love fingerless gloves. I love color (especially yummy, semi-solid, hand-dyed, wooly/silky color). I love buttons, and I especially love a good fast knit.
I'm really excited about this pattern! Excited enough that I'm looking forward to the magazine coming out (December 16 is the official release date, if you're counting) even though I'm a little nervous about the blogger profile part. I happen to be Very Bad at talking about myself without completely over-thinking things. Have you ever noticed that I don't have one of those "100 things about me" pages? That's why. I tried a couple of times but I got bogged down somewhere in the low teens.
Anyway...not going to think about it...la, la, la...
Now for the really cool part. If you've been poking around Knit Blog Land (and chances are, if you're reading this, you have been), you've probably run into some of the other super-talented bloggers who have patterns in this issue. If you want the whole list, here's a little cheat sheet for you:
Stephanie
Larissa
Mari
Cookie A
Ysolda
Jared
Wendy
I feel like a bit of an underachiever compared to that lot (not having written a book or inspired a Ravelry fan club), but I'm incredibly excited to be included!
Ok, I think that's enough for today. In summary: new pattern, Knit.1, lots of cool bloggers, woo-hoo! Oh, and the full preview should be up on the Knit.1 site on Monday the 23rd.
p.s. Ravelink!

O.M.G. This is officially the cutest thing you've ever made. I love love love the little trees. So cute. I may have to keep (start?) knitting. And I have never heard of any of those other people (except maybe Jared...tweeeeeed?) so in my book you are muchly more famous.

Those are the cutest little gloves I've ever seen.
And I bet they would make good mittens too. :) 'cause mittens are quite handy in the Frozen North.
Love them - congratulations!

What an original and cute pair of fingerless gloves. I had seen Brooklyn Tweek and Stephanie's post regarding knit.1. I so much enjoy reading all of you talented bloggers. I'll be buying this issue for sure! Thank you for the cheat list! And mostly, thank you for your blog!

The mitts are one of my favorite designs in the magazine. So cute! Are you allowed to tell what yarn we need and how much?
