Christmas knits :)

[Katherine Brengle]

I still have a couple of things to finish, but these are all done:

3 pairs of slightly modified Fetching (Knitty) in Paton's Classic Merino:


Mini-Fetching on 2s in laceweight Malabrigo (hard to see detail, but it's identical to the big ones):


Simple garter stitch scarf in Lion Suede:


Cabled scarf (my design) in Wool Ease thick&quick:


Cabled scarf (same pattern as above) in Plymouth Baby Alpaca Grande:


I'm turbo-knitting this weekend to finish the rest!

1. Lovely!

I didn't know that they called those fingerless gloves "fetching". I'll have to hunt around and see if they are any crochet patterns for them.

Edit: Found a crochet pattern for them! http://adventuresincrochet.blogspot.com/2006/12/fingerless-mitts-crochet-pattern.html

But I think the knit ones look so much more delicate. This is tempting. :)

2. That particular pattern is called "Fetching"

I don't know if there is an equivalent crochet pattern but there are tons of fingerless mitt patterns online :).

Hope that helps.

4. I love my Fetching mitts. Those are lovely.

I added in a thumb gusset in mine (I always need one, it seems), and I wear them all the time. Very comfy. My mom loves hers, too. They're a very useful item to have in winter.

Oh, and the men's version is really nice, too.
