I’m stash busting again. The weather is turning chilly, and I find myself void of gloves and mitts. My white gloves I knit years ago from A Gathering of Lace have been “decorated” by my children with red Gatorade. It won’t wash out.

Of my two pairs of fingerless mitts knit from the second S&B book, one was appropriated by my mom, the other, after having been borrowed a few times by my husband, have gone missing. (They were knit from a very dark brown and tan colorway of Manos del Uruguay. They looked manly enough for him to get away with it. Don’t fret).

Also, my purple fingerless gloves in progress are stalled, and will take some serious sleuthing to finish, as the first is done, and the second needs to be. My pattern notes were written in about 10 different places, and rewritten as I frogged and tweaked. I have absolutely no idea what the actual numbers are to finish the pattern. So it’s going to be a matter of reading the first glove and taking my best guess. I’m probably not going to be able to share that pattern, as I don’t know it. Sorry.

So, back to the stash busting…

I had about 1 & 3/4 skeins of Elsebeth Lavold’s Angora in the most delicious red sitting in the stash.

My hands were cold.

It’s gorgeous.

This pattern, I’ll be able to share. What’s better, it works up fast. I knit most of it in an evening, and now that the pattern is written out, the second one will be faster.

Sweeeeeeet!
