And the winner of the mitten book is....................... Wanda Rollins. Congratulations Wanda and thanks to Anne for thoughtfully sending me
the book in the first place. I had 20 knitters sign up for the drawing which was more than I expected. If you didn't win this time the good news is that I'll have another drawing for a giveaway in a couple of weeks for a little colorwork Christmas stocking booklet from Schoolhouse Press and some individual holiday stocking patterns.
Check out Sandrine's beautiful version of Merike's Gloves - scroll down on her blog to see them. She used Koigu and finished them in record time while mine seem to be taking forever. I promise to have an in progress photo next week along with some photos of how I tack down long floats on the back of colorwork. In the meantime, I scanned one of the Sanquhar gloves so you can see the details better. I wear them on our late night walks and the Sanquhar pattern really looks neat by the light of the moon.
