Forgive the photo quality...it was a quickly cell phone picture. (Please disregard the random foot in the picture. At least now you know why I will never model my sock patterns. hehe.)
The pattern and kit were set for release today. But, sadly, ONE crucial item that will be included in the kit was misdelivered and cannot be retrieved. (Darn college boys who live in my old house!) So I need to reorder this item. My best guess is that it will all be ready to go in 2-3 weeks, depending on delivery speed. I will keep you posted. The kit, for those who are curious, will contain the pattern for the above fingerless gloves, enough hand-dyed yarn to make them, a drawstring bag, 5" double-pointed needles, a cable needle, and stitch markers. If you want to claim one now, feel free to email me and I will let you know when they're available for sale.
So after trying frantically to figure out a way to get these to market, I decided to take the weekend off and do some personal knitting. Something I haven't had a lot of time for lately.
Miss Kate has been asking for socks, so these will be for her. This is the third cuff. The first two didn't fit her honkin' feet. Hoping it goes faster now that I have the right size. I think if I'm diligent today, I can get the pair done. But, again, she has huge feet for a 3 year old, so I'm not making any promises!
Size 1 DPNs, 56 sts around...now they're a tad big I think, but 48 stitches wouldn't fit over her ankle. Wish me luck!-
And, what I'm sure you've all been waiting for. Halloween pics! Miss May was Tinkerbell and Miss Kate was a pink fairy princess.
Mr. Yarnworks helped them carve Jack-o-lanters Friday night. On the left is Miss Kate's design. A nice, friendly, smiling pumpkin.
It was also beautiful weather for South Dakota in October. Lately we've had lots of rain and even snow. Last night was probably in the high 40s with very little wind. This was our street at 5:30pm.

On the right is Miss May's pumpkin. A bit more to the Halloween theme...much like my old pumpkins looked when I was a kid.

This is such a great town for trick-or-treating too. From the one family that sets up a haunted house to the retirement community where the seniors sit in a semi-circle and encourage the kids to take more...It was also beautiful weather for South Dakota in October.

Even the kids oohed and aahed at our sunset.
Geese flying south... A sign that it's not quite winter yet.
And a nice spooky moon to finish off our Halloween evening.

Great fingerless Mitt pattern, and Great post. Your daughters are darling!!
ReplyDeleteIt is so gratifying to see that you and yours are thriving in your new home. The girls have grown so much. I'm really thrilled for you. As for the fingerless mitts - they are ever so elegant! Must make a pair.
ReplyDeleteGreat glove pattern! Will you be selling the pattern separate or just in a kit? Wasn't it great weather for Halloween? Never thought I'd see it in SD, especially with the summer we had!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful pattern!
ReplyDeleteI love the Halloween pictures. Your girls look so cute!
