The Capillary fingerless mittens are finished and have been released. They are also part of the Seven Fingerless Mittens collection. These were a fun knit, and a way for me to combine fingerless mittens with lace. The lace pattern is a wave-pattern that goes around the cuff and continues up on the back of the hand.
And while the cuffs are fancy all around, the palm is plain stockinette to make them more practical and wearable.
I used about 1/2 a skein of Skinny Bugga! from the Sanguine Gryphon for the medium size gloves, and had enough to make a small size as well. The colourway is Longhorned Beetle. I really like this colour – a dark, complex wine red. And the funny thing is that I noticed that it’s very similar to the colour I used for my Orchid View shawl – except that one was knit in Tush from Saffron Dyeworks.
