How appropriate that my last post was about Me-Made May. Let’s ignore the fact that I posted that in November, shall we? And I have to admit that I’ve done not one thing towards it.
Still, I do have a May Day project to start. This is the Beltaine colourway from my Wheel of the Year club, issued two full years ago now (wow! Where does the time go??):

I will admit that I have difficulties matching high-contrast yarns to patterns that really show them off, but as soon as I saw the Spatterdash fingerless mitts pattern, I thought of this yarn. I love the way Feather and Fan’s strong structure makes clear lines even in the busiest yarn, and for once I’m looking forward to finding a whole slew of pretty buttons to finish this project off…

I plan to lengthen the cuffs of these mitts, so they warm my arms more, because I have issues with the circulation in my hands, and I’ve been told that keeping my forearms warm is actually key.
Love the colors in that yarn! (I’m always a sucker for purple…) And that pattern will be the perfect showcase for it.
I’ve got some hi-contrast yarns that have defeated me, so I might pull them out and try them with this pattern, too. Thanks for the heads-up!

Hellloooo Gayle!!
Thanks for commenting; I was wondering if there was anyone still out there… I lost most of my blogroll a year or so ago, so I need to rebuild. And start writing my own again more regularly; I think reading blogs inspires writing blogs…

Hi Alison,
I saw your blog on the Krokbragd and your ‘program’ for viewing a pattern. I am VERY interested in gettin my hands on a copy. I”m in the middle of Krokbragd and although I am documenting how the patterns work, I’d like to be able to see them before creating them. I’m using the straight 3 shaft threading. I wansted to try the rosepath, but figured I’d go with the traditional first. Any help you could provide would be much appreciated.
Feel free to email me. Thanks for such a great aid in Krokbragd. Sure would love to try it out.
Regards,
Tom Z.
