This is what I have on my needles at the moment after a request from my sister for a pair of rainbow cheat’s mitts:
The yarn is Sirdar Snuggly Smiley Stripes, which is 80% bamboo, 20 % wool and the lace cuff is two complete pattern repeats of Leaf Patterned lace. As it turns out, this probably wasn’t the best choice because I’m going to have a bit of nightmare sewing it up I think, but I wanted to try something different to keep learning. And of course the yarn is DK rather than 3 ply so my tension is all different too, although my sister has small hands and wrists too so hopefully they will be a nice snug fit, rather than actually big enough for my partner like my green ones!
I’m definitely getting the hang of lace, I might actually brave a Chinook Scarf with the lovely merino I was given for Christmas next.
