Ionic Fingerless Mitts

Turns out, I missed an entire repeat of the pattern (on the wrist end) and did the palm in 1×1 ribbing instead of stockinette. Still think they’ll be ok tho.

Brioche for Beginners

(also using a mystery rainbow fingering-weight yarn)

I kinda messed up the last stitch of the round for a couple of inches, ended up with a double-column of what looks like the knit stitch of the brioche ribbing.

But I do appreciate the simplicity and clarity of explanation on this pattern — it’s been a few years, and this time I did NOT struggle with brioche stitch!

Never the same river twice

Started with “Architecture” but didn’t like having to count rows, pulled back to the end of the toe and incorporated the 1×1 cables in a ribbing pattern.

Will add notes about which toe type, row pattern, and when I get to heel etc.

Slightly shorter than the last time I did the flk heel, I think.

Pattern for back of socks:

p2k2 x 7; p2; cable pattern over 4 st; p2; k2p2 x 6

Climb and Swirl Cowl, Mom edition

December 29, 2019

I made this once before, but I must have cast on way more stitches, because this was more of a turtleneck style than a drapey one.

I also just barely got into shading out of the darkest color. Made it about 6” tall.
