God's Eye Mitts in Knitscene
I'm so excited because my latest pattern, God's Eye Mitts, was just released in the new special accessories issue of Knitscene Magazine. The design features a funky asymmetrical diamond color-work motif, a cute little button tab, and striped garter stitch edging.
I feel like I made these FOREVER ago. I sent them off to Knitscene way back in December. Now, in the heat of the summer, they seem a little funny. I know I'm really going to love these come fall, though. Last year, I wore my Canyon Mitts all through fall, my Juris Mitts on the coldest days of winter, and my Mrs. Myrtle Mitts through the spring. I still occasionally wear a pair of mitts in my freezing cold office!
The diamond pattern reminded me of the god's eyes I used to make when I was a kid. That craft project was probably my first introduction to yarn, so God's Eye seemed an appropriate title, especially knowing the mythology around the symbol.
For the Huichol peoples of western Mexico, the God's Eye is symbolic of the power of seeing and understanding that which is unknown and unknowable, The Mystery. -Wikipedia
I'd love to hear what you all think about this new design. Drop me a note in the comments section below!

almost 12 years agoThose are scrumptious! I love a good geometric pattern, especially if it involves anything in the range of what I am currently calling "Tardis Blue." And the little button tab detail is very chic.

almost 12 years agoI'm a huge fan of fingerless mitts, and I bought this fantastic issue, so there's a very good chance that I'll have a pair on my hands this fall ;)

over 11 years agoGlad to hear it! I thought they were a lot of fun to knit, because they are small and the color-work pattern is easy to memorize.
