Alyssa's Diamond Mitts in Pretty Pink - Now for Sale! $20 + $3 shipping

I originally wrote the pattern for these gloves for my best friend's 21st birthday. Alyssa loved the subtle diamond texture of the glove and how warm her hands were while still having the utility of her fingers and thumb and I'm sure you will too!

You can check out my listing and purchase this pair for yourself or a friend in my Etsy Shop. :-)

These gloves are approximately 6" around and 7" long. These will fit most women's hands.



Fiber Content:
- 55% Merino extra fine wool
- 33% Microfiber
- 12% Cashmere

Made in a pet-free and smoke-free home in Bellevue, Washington.

If you are interested in these gloves, but would prefer another color or a different size or length, please don't hesitate to contact me at knittinsmitten@gmail.com.

Call for Test Knitters -- CLOSED

THIS REQUEST HAS BEEN CLOSED.  Thank you to everyone who volunteered!

Hey everyone, I'm looking for some test knitters to work on my first pattern.  If anyone is interesting in volunteering, please email me at knittinsmitten@gmail.com.


Shown here in the short length in a DK weight yarn.  Available in short and long lengths and small through large sizes.  These can also be made in a lighter weight yarn for a lacy spring mitt.

Here's how it will work...

Step A) I'll send you an electronic copy of my rough-draft pattern in either PDF or Word document depending on your preference.

Step B) You knit the pattern in any size and length in any weight of yarn you want. You keep your gloves, but please take pictures.

Step C) You tell me:
- what size and length of glove you made
- what yarn you used and how much of it
- any modifications you made to the pattern and why (problems with the pattern or personal preference; I may update the pattern with your alterations)
- any problems you encountered with the pattern
- any typos/unclear elements in the pattern
- any title suggestions
- general feedback (I don't like your font, the thumb gusset was confusing, cute pictures, etc.)

Step D) You post pictures of your project on Ravelry (with your honest feedback in the comments!) and link it to the pattern.

Step E) I send you a copy of the finished pattern and you have my undying gratitude.

Let me know if you're interested!
