Pattern Pending

knitting 001 knitting 002
I forgot that I also made these fingerless mitts last week.
Pattern:My own. I'll try to write it out soon and post it in the Free Pattern section.
Yarn: Terra by The Fibre Company in Henna
Needles:US6 bamboo dpns. (Crystal Palace I think)
Other/Notes: The pattern is pretty straight forward. I wanted something plain because I love the *rustic* nature of this yarn and originally had intentions of embroidering them like my Knucks I started with a ribbed cuff and changed my mind part way through. I decided instead to go with a loose "gauntlet" cuff and then decreased at the wrist. I also chose the rolled edge because I like the raw, unfinished look it gave them. Again, the simple design helps showcase the texture and color of the yarn.

I haven't decided the final destination for these. They may end up being a gift for some unnamed person on my Christmas list. Or they may end up for sale in my etsy shop. Or if all else fails, they will keep my hands warm while I drive or type (not at the same time!) this winter.

I have enough yarn left for a Calorimetry to match.
