Heepy Cabled Fingerless mitts

For some reason recently my designing  and knitting mojo has come back with a vengence, I think its having all the new yarns to play with. Obviously part of my job is to design things for the yarn, but at the moment its my favourite thing, especially seeing as I have conquered quite a few techniques recently which have freed my mind a bit.


Anyway, the latest design are these, they are called heepy mitts, and made in scrumptious chunky, they take two hanks as they are pretty substantial, but they look so cute... this afternoons job is to deisgn a hat to go with them, think that might be a little more tricky ;)


The pattern is available on ravelry, or through the shop here:

Slouchy fingerless mitt pattern.

Hello peeps!


Blimey, its been a tad busy here, and I completely forgot to blog, the workshop now thanks to my mum looks SUPER DUPER. I'll post some photos tomorrow :)


Anyway, I updated the shop today with some treats, and also a little pattern which is available for free download. Its for the faery wings yarn, its a slouchy glove pattern and it only takes one skein, to be honest I reckon you could get 2 pairs out of one skein, my mitts only weighed 21 gms so its perfect for Christmas presents. It can be worked flat or in the round, although its written in the round its easy to convert to flat.

Its also available for free on Ravelry here.
