Miss Sophie’s Hands

On December 4, 2009, in gloves, by Anna

I cast on for these gloves while I was recovering from the flu. While I was sick, I didn’t have any energy to knit at all. And certainly not enough brainpower to compose my own patterns. So I decided I would try another pair of Julia Mueller’s fabulous gloves. These are Miss Sophie’s Hands, and I knit them on 2.0 mm needles with Wollmeise Sockenwolle (100% superwash) in Sabrine.
I knit the small size, although with my gauge they turned out more of a medium/large size which was what I was hoping for.
The gloves have been gifted to my mother in law, who was amazing and watched the kids so I could get some rest while I was ill. The colour is perfect for her. :-)

 

Liljekonvalj Poncho

On December 1, 2009, in lace, Liljekonvalj Poncho, pattern, poncho, by Anna

The Liljekonvalj Poncho is a lightweight lace poncho with floral motifs.
It’s knit using 2 skeins of Bamboo-Cotton from Yarntopia Treasures (420 yds per 4 oz skein). The yarn is very sturdy and holds up very well for every day use.

The size of the pattern is adjustable. As shown, the diameter is 123 cm (48″) but the size can be both decreased and increased as desired.

The pattern is charted and available in .pdf format for $8.00 CDN.
