for a few pretty pics to liven things up, the camera decides to Be Naughty! The fault was intermittent, but it seems to have become permanent with this last batch of photos, so off to the menders it will have to go.  I don’t often get enthusiastic about updating my ravelry projects. It’s such a long winded procedure (’tis for me, anyway), so that bit will have to wait…again!

Well, I’m going to show you a pic anyway.  It’s about the best of the bunch.  I had the pleasure of meeting Thomasina at the weekend and later, as you do, looked her up in blogland only to discovered her lovely Berry Hill fingerless mittens pattern.  Just what I was looking for to show off what you can do with one ball of Buttersoft dk!  So here is dodgy pic…..

It is in Rainbow, and is much brighter than shown here, but you get the idea?  I love how it has patterned.  A bit sockish as it is done on circs and I really like how the striping has been stretched and pushed back when the number of stitches changes.  I’m hoping the other one will stripe up differently on the hand  – I started at a different place in the colour sequence on purpose.  I’m taking it to knitting tonight which means I will need markers for the gusset this time!  I’m really pleased with how the broken twisted rib has come out.  It gives a lovely texture.

If you’d like to see Rainbow in the shop, say Aye, and I’ll do some.  This particular batch is for a very exciting event coming up soon…….

Happy knitting
