More to share. I abandoned ship on the Strathcona! Long story short, I didn't love the way it was starting in texture alone & I kept having a repeated short number of stitches that was messing up the left slant! I decided to make the "Rathtrevor" fingerless mitts since I have never made ones with thumbs before. I usually leave a hole in place of a thumb cover. Knitting fingers..if thumbs count as fingers??,has always intimidated me. But I did one & it wasn't too bad, except when I dropped the waste yarn stitches & had to procede by picking up those little guys with a darning needle. Whew! I finished it & am really happy with the fit. Onto the 2nd mitt of the first pair.
Since Strathcona failed..& it was suppose to be a gift, I lucked up & found a sweet Moebius Cowl by Michelle Hunter at Temptations here in Dublin! It's a sweet little pattern with a lacy look. I chose a merino wool/baby alpaca combo for the yarn. Excited to see it come to together. This may be my new knitted gift idea for that big holiday coming up...
