Another Test Knit

OK, I did another test knit of my new pattern, just to make sure it works :)
This time I used an 8ply (DK) crepe 100% wool, with all the same needles as stated in the pattern.

The result . . .
Love it :) Fits beautifully, and the crepe twist makes the 'cables' stand out more than the other wool did.

I am off to bed now (12.30am here!!), but I will post a photo tomorrow, so you can see the new glove.
On a side note . . . if you like your warmers long, you may want to add in another repeat or two of the pattern, before returing to the rib.

Cheers

My First Pattern Design

Hi there.
I have recently been re-inspired by knitting, and wool craft in general. So much so, that I have even written a pattern of my own!

I thought I'd start this blog so I can share not only what I am knitting at the moment, but my own creations and the patterns as well.
I hope you enjoy them, and come back often.

Mock Cable Hand Warmers
A Work in Progress . . .


The Finished Product . . .


These hand warmers have been knitted in "Sean Sheep Wool - Rockbank".
It is an 8ply/DK (equivalent) 70%Wool & 30% Soybean, from one of our Australian Chain Stores - BigW.
It is a varigated wool. When I finished knitting the pair of gloves, each one was different, but with the same blend of colours . . . kinda funky . . . I really like the effect.
These should work with any 8ply/DK wool.

edited to add: I thought I was using an 8ply/DK wool, but another website suggested it was a 10ply/Aran/Worsted wool. I think it would work well with either :)

Would you like the pattern?

Have fun . . . and leave me some love it you download the pattern.
I'd love to see your creations if you actually use it . . . put a link in your comments, and I'll go check yours out.

Happy Knitting
