This Tightly Wound woman can now get as Loosely Knit as she likes 😉 !
The fingerless mitts are finished and they match! Life is good today. These will be a gift for my Mom who is seriously ill – I’m hoping they will offer her some warmth and comfort. I’m thrilled they are finished, and under any other circumstances they would be a very quick knit. I love the yarn and will be working with it often.
Modeled by: Emily
Yarn used: Queensland Collection’s Llama Seta
Needles: Clover size 6 dpn’s
Pattern: I started with the Artists Gloves pattern and altered it to add a 6 stitch cable
I also made them longer in the arms and on the fingers.
Now fellow Olympians (and supporters) I’m off to get unglued with DH ~ well maybe not totally unglued ~ how about dinner and some wine 🙂
Happy Knitting!

Congratulations! They are beautiful – I’m sure they will be well worn & loved by your mom. Way to go! 🙂
Yeee haaa!!! I knew you would finish with time to spare. They look so perfect, you really did a great job. I didn’t realize they were for your mom, that’s very sweet of you and I hope they help her to feel better. What is it about finishing that makes us want to drink . . . Pea and I are drinking Apple-tinis at the moment!!
Congrats Cathy! They are beautiful and your Mom will be so pleased!
