I loved the Green Beer yarn from Beth at Sugar Spun Yarns so much that I had to pick up some Candy Corn, too. I wanted a new pair of fingerless mitts to wear to work and running errands. The ones I wear to walk the dogs…well, shall we just say they have more of an Oliver Twist feel than I really want them to have?
After much deliberation on Ravelry, I settled on Toast as the perfect pattern to show off the scrump-delicious yarn. I modified the pattern by not making a complete thumb, but added a little buttonhole thumb instead. That mod is all over the Rav, so I take no credit. I do love being able to wear these either way. It is surprising just how much I like having them on with shorter sleeves. I think they make a cute addition to my winter wardrobe, and they have real practical value, too. What more could a girl want?
I finished these in October, but I haven't posted much (as you know) in the last month. I have two other projects off the needles, and as soon as I get pictures, I'll show you! Aren't you breathless with anticipation now???
This is the *perfect* yarn for this pattern. Love these so much!
