A brand new pair of fingerless mitts has just been completed. The mitts are made of 100% Canadian produced wool that has been hand dyed in natural dyes (marigold and madder).
Four color stranded knitting makes for lively patterning and a bit of fun.
These fingerless mitts give an almost full thumb coverage, plus coverage to the beginning of the fingernails allowing for maximum warmth while still having fingertips available for texting or using a camera.
The past week has been great for knitting and crochet. I am working on some new home items plus building up a supply of Coffee Sweaters for either the next order or perhaps to finally get a shop up on-line, one of the goals for 2015.

Beautiful! I’m going to try hand-dyeing with Turmeric tomorrow, I hope it turns out as pretty as your yarn!
I find I get the best results with turmeric if I dye the wool in pomegranate first. Enjoy the dyeing.
I also noticed on one of your posts that you were knitting from a graph you had drawn, I have been playing with a very basic graph program on my iPad which makes it really easy to play with designs and change them easily. I thought you might find that of interest.
