I've designed my first pair of fingerless mittens! I plant to sell the finished product in my Etsy store soon as well as the pattern, which will be available primarily on Ravelry, but in my Etsy store occasionally as well. Currently, they are called "Diamond Mitts" but I am searching for a better, more unique and memorable name. If you have any suggestions, leave them in the comment box along with a way of contacting you (email at host dot com... don't put your phone number!) and you'll win a copy of the pattern when it is completed! Sound good?
Here are a few more pictures...
These mitts are made using all knit and purl (and some yarn overs and knit togethers) and are made in the round. This pattern is intended for DK weight yarn and uses 1 - 2 50g skeins.
The pattern will offer two lengths: short (shown here) and long (goes a little over half-way up your forearm) but the pattern is easy to alter to the length that you want. There will also be notes to knit different sizes: small (shown here), medium, and large.
I'm also looking for some test knitters to test out the pattern when I get it all written up and fancy-like. If you're interested, send me an email at knittinsmitten@gmail.com with your Ravelry name and what size and length you're thinking about knitting. (If you don't have a Ravelry account, you can still test knit for me, but I'll need your okay to post pictures of your finished project on Ravelry and here on my blog; you'll receive credit for the photo and the project).
