"mosiac knit" fingerless gloves

Pattern from the January '11 issue of Knit Today magazine, page 32

I've never done the technique of mosaic knitting before, you only use one colour at a time slipping stitches to create the colour changes. unlike fair isle there's not the same annoying carrying of yarn thru the back and it actually looks quite neat...

This was after another hour or so with a few interuptions...

I like the way they do the thumb...no shapings just pick up and round knitted into the seam (okay i did the alternate back and forth and hand seam as i cannot get round knitting neat lol). I think I'll be making more of these as they only took an often interrupted day to make up and look great.

Handwarmers for Granny

My Granny is now...errr...87 years old. Yup 87 and still going pretty strong LOL.

But like most older peeps she feels the cold in her extremities...just not enough to wear gloves in the house cos then she can't do her crosswords.

SO...fingerless mits...gives the warmth of mittens with fingertips and thumb free to hold her pen.

She already has a bright pink pair I made for a tester size, but she needs at least a wash and a wear...so here's her 2nd set.
