All The Reindeer Mittens Now in Four Sizes

The latest in my work to update my patterns to make them suitable for a wider audience is my All The Reindeer Mittens, updated to include three sizes - Women's Small, Medium, Large and Extra-Large.

Here's a sample using the instructions for the medium size. Anyone who previously purchased a pattern should have received an updated version. 

This is one of my favourite patterns.

I love how these colours of KnitPicks Palette yarn show off the design perfectly.

I took this picture in a local park that has suffered from some wind storm damage this year. The mittens are set against the background of a fallen tree that lived for 168 years.

Spice Trade Mittens Now in Three Sizes

When I originally published my Spice Trade Mittens pattern it was only written for one size. Recently, I updated the pattern and expanded it to include three sizes - Women's Small, Medium and Large.

Here's a sample using the instructions for the medium size. Anyone who previously purchased a pattern should have received an updated version. 

Sunnybrook Mittens Pattern Now Available

My newest pattern is now available on Ravelry. My first design to be released in 2018.

Inspired by a favourite city park, these mittens feature garden flowers with a cuff reminiscent of old stone fences. Using only two colours, the design has a reverse ombre effect, shifting the colours from dark to light. 

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. 

Go to my Patterns For Sale page to purchase this pattern.

Candyland Mittens

Life has really gotten in the way of my mitten knitting this month, but I'm happy to have finished my first pair for 2018 using Virginia Sattler-Reimer's Candyland Mittens pattern. 

I used Cascade 220 Sport yarn for the first time and I love it. I'll be designing more mittens soon using this sport weight yarn.
