I was looking through my pattern file the other day when I came across a pattern I'd photocopied from Interweave Knits magazine. The pattern is by Allyson Dykhuizen. I didn't have the name of the pattern, but I've just looked it up and it's 'Reservoir Mitts'. It can be found on Ravelry. I thought it would be a good way to use up the tiny bits of wool I have left over from making socks and gloves. It is. I've used Allyson's directions for the entrelac back of the hand, but made up the rest of the gloves. Allyson knitted the palm of the hand from side to side and her version has half fingers. I'm knitting the palm upwards, joining to the back as I go.
I sold the Celtic knot gloves on Saturday and a few other things. I also have orders for three pairs of socks. I want to finish these gloves and a pair of boottees for a gift and then I'll start spinning for the orders.
PS There were a lot of scribbled notes on the pattern, but I don't remember knitting them. I've just looked back on my blog and found them! I knitted them in 2014. As I'm doing now, I made up my own version of the palm.
