I have a new pattern almost ready to be released!
Meet Delphine~
And her twin~
The crazy thing is I posted the pattern page up on Ravelry about an hour ago (with a note that the pattern will be available soonish) and it's already been added to 2 queues. That's so wild!
So here's the details,
Delphine Mittens are written for 2 different gauges, DK and Aran weight yarn.
DK version:
Sample uses Debbie Bliss Rialto and Mirasol Hacho
Size 3 double point needles
7sts per inch over stockinette colorwork
Aran version:
Sample uses Debbie Bliss Railto Aran and Socks That Rock Heavyweight
Size 5 double point needles needles
6sts per inch over stockinette colorwork
This pattern would be a great first colorwork project. You never use the same color for more than 5 stitches in a row so floats are less of an issue, plus the palm pattern is pretty mindless.
Each mitten will probably take only a couple of evenings to knit.
I'm super excited about this pattern! The charts are done and the written instructions are roughed out. I just need to finesse things and finish the second mitten. Then the pattern can be released.
My only problem is these eyes keep following me distracting me from my work...
That and the now daily trips to the new dog park right by my house. I love that there is a dog park now within walking distance. It's got nothing on the big park across town, but it certainly gets Robin tired out so I can work.

I'm interested in the pattern as I've been researching a first colorwork project - can't wait till the pattern comes out!

Those look great! I think when you put a new pic up it's on a sort of "front page" for a little bit, so that's probably how people found it. The mittens being gorgeous is what got them added to the que's though, lol. ;) Robin looks sweet!

Wow! I love the black-electric variegated effect! If I ever were to knit mittens…
I can understand it was queued quick :-)
