I finally finished these Climbing Vine Mittens.
I bought the pattern several Rhinebecks ago from the designer himself, Bill Huntington, of Hope Spinnery. He operates what used to be a wind-powered fibre processing mill, in Hope, Maine. The business has evolved into a fibre arts studio "providing high quality yarn, knitting patterns, and custom made knitwear" -- still powered by the wind.
Last October, at Rhinebeck, I purchased his Wind-Spun Yarn to finally knit these mittens.
His booth was very popular at the NYSWF but I was able to still find two contrasting colours for the mittens in the Granite and Dance colourways.
I still need to block them.
Now I'm even more inspired to knit the Fiddlehead Mitts
with my BFL handspun.
Must find background yarn and the alpaca for the lining....
Wonderful mittens, Geri, and in such well-chosen colours!
