Here are a few more things that you might like to know about my Path Fingerless Mitt pattern that is launching this week!

• The pattern is simple to knit,
• it’s full of texture
• each mitt is knitted flat.
• The pattern perfectly complements my Path Cowl and Different Path Beanie patterns and the pattern on each mitt is mirrored.
• it’s got a neat little detail on the thumb that flows from the cuff pattern through the very top!
• the palm detail is smoother to make it extra comfortable and give better grip.
• there are 3 sizes: small, medium and large and each pattern size has its own set of instructions
• the mitts are fingerless to give you more dexterity, but long enough to keep your wrists warm too.

The pattern will be available sometime this week. It was due to be launched tomorrow but I have picked up some lurgy and working through my launch checklist isn’t going well today. So make sure you’re following along for the launch date and also some more pictures and information over the next couple of days.

Happy Knitting!

Just been playing around with my Path Fingerless Mitts today. These aren’t the “proper” pics…the light is a bit rubbish…but these are what they look like on me, the medium size pair and all 3 sizes front and back. Better pics will be coming your way tomorrow.

The pattern will be available on Tuesday.

My Path Fingerless Mitt pattern is out on Tuesday. These easy to knit DK fingerless mitts are a fun little project that will perfectly complement my Path Cowl and Different Path Beanie!

And as I’ve been putting some final touches to the pattern, I’ve got some useful info for you if you want to get prepared for my latest pattern launch!

The pattern comes in 3 sizes: small, medium and large. And if you are looking to knit these gorgeously textured mitts, you will need:
~ 115m yarn for the small version
~ 130m yarn for the medium version
~ 150m yarn for the large version
And
~ 3.5mm needles and 2 stitch markers.

And of course if you wanted to knit the Path Cowl or the Different Path Beanie too then you’d need:
~ 225m DK yarn for the cowl
~ 170m DK yarn for the beanie
~ 4mm circulars for both

So look out for some new photos tomorrow and Monday and obviously for when the pattern is live on Tuesday!

Happy knitting!

It’s Patterns To Knit This Weekend time again, and for your consideration I present:

~ Something For The Daytrip: a one skein wonder of alternating stockinette and twisted eyelets where each side is offset give you an overall broken chevron effect. It’s simple and entertaining to knit, but it certainly keeps you on your toes in terms of stitch count and remembering to switch pattern at the centre! And once you’re finished you have a lovely looking lightweight accessory that you can wear indoors and outdoors to cosily accessorise your jackets!

~ Hip To Be Squared cowl: is a one skein DK project that suit everyone. Knitted flat, the simple stockinette blocks provide a lovely texture to the cowl and the moss stitch border complements it beautifully.

~ Barchan: a big DK scarf of graduating sand cables. Barchan is the name given to drifting dunes and the five sections of soft meandering sand cables start small at one side and increase in size as you knit across. And this might sound like a bit of a nightmare to keep track of. But the pattern is presented in a colour coded written/chart hybrid where you can see exactly when you need to work each cable. This is done in a colour blindness and greyscale friendly way too. And as a big scarf you will need quite a bit of DK yarn: 1400m to be precise!

Oxford Beanie: a lovely beanie hat with comma stitch that has a slight slouch to it. It’s simple, cosy aran knit with a simple crown. And it pairs beautifully with my Oxford scarf. You’ll need 95m of aran yarn for this project which makes it a great way to use up some leftovers.

All these patterns have 25% off in my Ravelry store (click the pattern stores link in my profile) until Thursday, October 15th so now is a good time to add your fave to your pattern collection!

Stay cosy and happy knitting!

This weekend a few of you bought my Something For Next Weekend pattern and here are some reasons why you might also like to buy, and more importantly knit, this lovely pattern!

• it’s a one skein 4ply/fingering weight wonder.
• it’s simply a repeating pattern of alternating stockinette and twisted eyelets.
• it has a large cast on, but zero cast off!
• it’s an easy pattern to follow, but make sure you keep a check on your stitch count!!
• it’s a surprisingly quick knit that has the feel of a weekend. You start it and the end seems ages away and then all of a sudden you’re reaching the end.
• it’s a lovely triangular scarf/small shawl that is perfect for accessorising your outfit both indoors and outdoors throughout the year.
• you’ll need 400m of yarn, but you can use either 100g/400m or 100g/425m (or equivalent) for this project
• you’ll need 5mm needles but I would recommend you use circular needles with at least 80cm cable.
• you’ll need to get out the stitch markers for this one to make sure your stitch count remains as stress free as possible.
• you’ll need the pattern: Something For Next Weekend which is available with 25% off until October 8th in my Ravelry store which you can find by clicking my Pattern Stores Link in my profile and I’ll also pop it into my stories too!

Stay cosy and happy knitting!

A big thumbs up for coffee, tv and glove knitting this Saturday afternoon.

Doing the final pattern check for the medium size of my upcoming Path Fingerless mitts pattern (the completed pics are for the small size) and I can’t wait until you can finally get your hands on it!

What are you working on today?

It’s Patterns To Knit This Weekend time again and this week’s edition is indoor/outdoor accessories that you can happily knit and wear as accessories indoors to jazz up your outfits and outdoors to keep you cosy all year round.

Scarf Number 2 is a long tapered DK scarf that’s simply sections of alternating stockinette and twisted eyelets enclosed in an integrated icord border. But whilst it’s simple to knit, it’s really entertaining too. And even though it’s DK it’s lightweight enough to wear indoors to layer and add texture to your outfit, but long enough to easily add different levels of cosiness when you’re outdoors depending on how you style it. You’ll need 440m of DK and 4mm needles for this beauty.

Ridgeback is another thin tapered scarf, but this one skein 4ply wonder might be shorter and lighter, but it’s just as entertaining to knit. Again it’s a simple knit but the pattern is broken rib that travels throughout the pattern in amongst stockinette and an icord border. This adds a lovely textured detail that will keep you thoroughly entertained. And whilst this is a lovely indoor accessory, it’s a lovely spring/autumn accessory for accessorising your big jumpers and jackets. You will need 400m of 4ply and 4mm needles for this project.

Hole Lotta Love! is a light, airy one skein triangular scarf of twisted eyelets. It’s not a difficult knit, but your stitch count (it’s quite a big cast on, but there’s no cast off!) and tension needs care. That said, it’s fun and satisfying to knit and light enough to be worn all year round to accessorise everything from tees to jumpers to jackets. You’ll need 400m/100g or 425m/100g of 4ply/fingering weight yarn and 5mm needles to knit this pattern.

Something For The Weekend is the same construction and yarn/needle requirements as Hole Lotta Love! but is a beautiful blend of alternating stockinette and twisted eyelets. It’s a really entertaining and satisfying project that you’ll be casting on again and again. It’s a great scrappy project too if you want to use up those leftovers.

And until October 8th, there’s 25% off these patterns on Ravelry (click the pattern stores link in my profile)

Happy Knitting!
