This week I finished up these mittens using my Celtic Inspired Mittens pattern. I used KnitPicks Palette yarn in Cream and Sweet Potato.

Winter Dream Mittens Pattern Now Available

These mittens were designed in the midst of a summer heatwave when all I could do was dream of cold winter days with a chill in the air and mittens on my hands. My winter dreams are filled with knitting and wearing mittens!

All the Reindeer Mittens

I made up another pair of my All the Reindeer Mittens pattern. This pair is the reverse of the colours I used in my post from December 28, 2016.

Spice Trade Mittens Take Two

I decided to make another pair of my Spice Trade Mittens to use these two beautiful colours. I love using Knit Picks Palette heather shades. They are so beautiful. This pair of mittens pairs the Sagebrush colour with Tidepool Heather.

Spice Trade Mittens Pattern Now Available

My newest pattern is now available on Ravelry

These mittens are inspired by the rich colours of the spices once used for commerce in the ancient spice trade. The motifs used are a tribute to patterns found within Middle Eastern art.

This pattern is suitable for an intermediate knitter with some experience working with charts and knitting in the round. Designer tips are provided for those who are new to stranded colourwork. The right and left hand mittens are identical with the same pattern on the top of the hand and the palm for each mitten.

Very happy with how this pattern has turned out.

Buds of Spring Mitten Pattern Just Released

My newest pattern is now available on Ravelry.

These mittens are inspired by the pops of green that sprout when trees begin to bud, while the memory of snow is still fresh in our minds. The lace motif of a budding tree in the cuff is echoed in the stranded pattern on the top of the hand. Combining the delicacy of lace with the grounded substance of stranded colourwork results in a mitten that is perfect for wearing on a chilly spring evening.

This pattern is suitable for an intermediate knitter with some experience working with charts and knitting in the round. The lace cuff has a simple garter stitch border or optional Latvian braids. Designer tips are provided for those who are new to stranded colourwork.
