Pattern is (finally!) Available!!

It took me far far too long to get this done, but I’m so pleased with the final product that I’m quite happy I took my time and had multiple test knits.

As it turns out, I’ve wound up with 2 different versions of Bella’s Gauntlets/Mittens. A knit version (dark gray sample) and a felted version (light gray sample). The felted ones are so delightfully squishy and warm that I had a hard time getting them off my model’s hands!

Bella Gauntlets, felted version:

Bella Gauntlets, knit version:

You get both versions packaged together for $6.00, but the pattern is available for download only through Ravelry until I get a pattern page set up for it here.  I’ll update this post as soon as I figure that out!

ETA:  Pattern page is HERE.  Once you have purchased the pattern, the PDF will be emailed to you within 24 hours.

PLEASE, only use this option if you are NOT a Ravelry member. By ordering through Ravelry, you will be able to download the pattern immediately and store it in your library there.

I’ve even got a couple of other Twilight-inspired knits I’ve been working on that I’ll announce as they’re ready.  (a cowl that I just have to blog, it’s already finished and available on Ravelry, and a lacy scarf that’s just about dry)

But in the meantime, I’ve already got *another* pair of felted Bellas on the needles!  It’s such a fun knit, I can’t seem to stop myself. 

I’m calling this pair Blushing Bellas:

Bella’s Mittens

I fell in love with the mittens Bella wore in Twilight, and after a few failed attempts, I think I got them pretty darn close to perfect. Not to knock other patterns that have already been finished and released, but these mittens are the most like Bella’s that I’ve seen.

I should be done putting the pattern together this weekend, it’s already been test knit, *and* they’re being submitted for inclusion in a book of Twilight-inspired knitwear!

I made my own modification to the ribbing, and I really love the way it hugs the cables where they meet on the sides.  It’s the only deviation from the original that I can see.

(not the greatest picture of them, but it’s all I can find right now…)

Wait!  Here’s a better one:

I absolutely adore these mittens and they’re a super-quick knit, too!  A couple of good friends have already finished test knitting for me, and a couple more are still working on them, but I should be finished proofing and tech editing the pattern this weekend!  I’m so excited!

I’m also working on a version of Rosalie’s White Lace Scarf from Twilight that is coming out utterly divine!
