When I was in Ely a few weeks ago I popped into my favourite shop - Yarn on the Square.
The problem was, it called to me. I saw it on the shelf and just couldn't resist the colours.
I have been thinking for some time about designing a pair of fingerless mittens that are worked from the fingers down and that only leave you one end to sew in when you have finished. I hate sewing up seams!!!!!
I was also planning ahead for a magazine submission. I figured the colours would look good in print.
Apart from the fact that I am extremely disappointed, I think it is a great shame. The UK could do with something a bit different in crochet.
The pattern for these mitts is available free on Rainbow Valley.
they are really lovely, I love making mittens using multicolored yarn, but never made any with fingers :)
ReplyDeleteI am just making multicolored shawl and it is so fun...
