Knitting: Fingerless Gloves
I enjoy making and wearing mittlets and will use any excuse to design another pair. This pattern was made to go with the Pin Box Slouch Hat and Cowl. The pattern is very similar but I have incorporated some ribbing in the pattern to add flexibility so that they are snug but still easy to put on.
Knitting: Cowl
The Pin Box Cowl was inspired by Cascade Yarns Heritage Paints in the Honey Sage colourway. I fell in love with the yarn but had to search for a stitch pattern that would work with this multi-coloured yarn. I finally landed on a slip stitch pattern that I liked combined with the Turquoise colour way.
