Did you happen to recognize a certain designer's name?
It may be a bit blurry, but there it is... my name! I am so happy to now be able to share that I have a pattern in the Jane Austen Knits 2013 magazine. This has been in the works since last winter, which is quite a long time to keep something this exciting quiet.
The Open Carriage Gloves were made with Quince and Co.'s Chickadee. The colorway featured in the magazine is the very rich Gingerbread. I originally submitted it in Twig, but I've been dreaming about how it would look in a very soft, pale color.... maybe Frost or Petal? This project is one of those great weekend-knitting-stash-busters. The smallest size, which would fit most people, takes only 1 skein of Chickadee.
Speaking of Chickadee.... I happen to have one lovely skein of Chickadee (in the Delft colorway) to give away today! Leave a comment below sharing what color (or perhaps different yarn?) you envision for these fingerless gloves. You have ONE WEEK to post a comment. Next Monday, November 11, I will select a winner using the online random number generator. Be sure to let me know your Raverly name or email address so that I contact you!
Happy knitting!
Meg !!! I would love to win yarn, but CONGRATS on the publication!! So very exciting and the pattern is simply beautiful !!!! As for color, I would go with either a pale blue or a rasberry (but light colored to show off the stitches)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on being published, so exciting!!
ReplyDeleteI'm all about neutrals for winter, since they'll match anything but I can't lie. I love the new Belize colorway!
Congratulations! Being published is so exciting! I, myself, think these gloves would look great in the crocus colorway. A brightly colored accessory helps me think of warmer days to come.
ReplyDeleteI'm vernalequinox on Ravelry.
Pink is my go-to color for most everything, but I think these would look stunning and sophisticated in pale blue or a warm neutral color. Congratulations on your publication!
ReplyDeleteSo cool! I'm picking up my JAK today :) I'm really digging jewel tones right now. Congrats!!
ReplyDeleteSuch a beautiful pattern and I love the colorway. I've purchased my copy of JAK and can't wait to make these gloves!
ReplyDeleteI would go with pomegranate!
ReplyDeleteI believe the Delft would be lovely for the pattern. Congratulations on the publication!
ReplyDeleteI was just admiring this pattern earlier today! It's really beautiful.
ReplyDeleteI'd go for a light gray.

Even if I'm too late, I just wanted to drop a line to say how much I love the mitts... I have an obsession with fingerless mitts right now and I queue it as soon as I got the magazine!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the publication!
PS. Crazyaunt if I squeak under the wire
Hey Meg I just had to say I really think your gloves are wonderful and they would look awesome in Indigo or a deep Aubergine Purple......although a really Pale Rose would make them appear so delicate and sweet as well .....Congratulations! Can't wait to see more
