Fabulous fingerless gloves knit from only one ball of Andean Silk from Knitpicks, a wonderfully soft Alpaca, Silk, and Merino Wool blend yarn. The Vine Lace is easy to follow, creating a sophisticated and pretty look. A little bit of ribbing along the inner side of the gloves make them fit perfectly. A few decreases after the thumb opening is made ensures a great fit as well.
Quick to knit with no seams on double pointed needles. A great stash-busting knitting project as it only uses one skein and makes a terrific gift!

These are on my to-do list. I love the pattern instructions because they are very well written

My niece absolutely loved these. She even requested a pair for a friend. Who knows, they may have even spark her interest enough to get her to learn to knit - she asked a lot of questions.

This was a pretty feminine mitt pattern that surprisingly used worsted or ran weight yarn, makinng them quick to stitch and warm enough for winter wear. They worked up nicely with the well written pattern and the little details that made it a great project for gifts.

I haven't made this yet as I have been very busy doing charity crafting but the experience buying it was amazingly simple I have never been disappointed in her patterns and I don't expect that will start now

I loved this design, just interesting enough but quick enough to knit over a weekend (I am a slow knitter). Your designs are lovely, will make these over and over as they will make a stunning gift. Thank you, I have had many of your designs since I first subscribed to your newsletter.

I made them for a friend and she loves them. We live in a climate where they are often all you need. Thanks for stirring up my creativity. I am enjoying the patterns I have downloaded from sweaterbabe. You are a very creative and inspirational woman, Katherine. Thank you.
