I’ve been busy working on a new pattern that I plan to release in the next few days. In the meantime I thought I’d post a little sneak peak.
I love blocking so much. It’s really like magic. I can take a formless blob and turn it into something crisp and beautiful. I feel like I’m showing my knitting who’s boss!
A future rosette. Cute, right?
I just saw these on the Knit Picks site – your Miss Myrtle Fingerless Gloves are the most gorgeous gloves I’ve ever seen. As soon as I knit all the gloves for the men in my life, I’m definitely buying this pattern and making a pair for me! They are beautiful.
This is amazing. When I saw these for the first time (the ones you made for your mom, perhaps even the orange ones in the picture) I couldn’t stop admiring the blocking!!! You ARE the boss of your knitting!
I made one of your miss myrtle fingerless gloves. I turned out pretty but quite a bit too big. I guess I have small hands. Is it possible to get the pattern with a small and large size adjustment? Also the flower I made twice. The first one with 32 CO stitches was so long it curled around and around and was much larger than the one on the pattern picture. I tried again with only 20 CO stitches and it turned out about right. Blocking does turn it into a new creature, but not smaller.
