I've got a new piece of my Fall(ing) in Love with Color Collection out today, it's Autumn's Favorite Arm Warmers, and they are sure to become yours as well! These fingerless mitts are worked in the same color palette as the other pieces in my Fall Collection (look at how nicely they pair with the skirt!), this time featuring bold blocks of color, separated by a textured part in the Main Color of the other 2 pieces. These mitts are a nice length, resting right about your elbow, and leaving your fingers free to knit, or enjoy your Pumpkin Spice Latte!
Here's the Pattern Information:
Fall(ing) in Love with Color Collection, Piece 3Fall is in the air and you need the perfect set to swing in to get your Pumpkin Spice Latte. Gloves have always seemed so fussy to me, but fingerless mitts (now you are talking my language!) leave your fingers free to knit, or grasp your favorite cup. Traditional mitts always seem to leave the rest of my arms freezing, though, so this are up to the challenge, providing just a bit of extra warmth that will allow you to continue reaching for your favorite tee just a bit longer. Using a color palette of fall colors from The Fiber Seed, this collection is a wonderful opportunity to play with the colors of Fall and work on your knitting skills. Increase your knitting skills and complete a full fall wardrobe.
