Congrats to Genie who moved to Oregon to start grad school! To celebrate the move and the need for warmer clothes, Genie commissioned me to make a set of winter accessories using cables and green wool; I used Lion Brand Wool Ease in Forest Green Heather (which is now discontinued, though I have several skeins left from other projects.
I used my Newsies hat pattern from the Stitch N' Bitch book, but put a diamond stitch on the panels.Next, I chose a fun Celtic cable pattern and made it into a scarf and put a
simple garter stitch edge on it. I used size 9 needles for the main part and size 8 for the edges.Then, I chose another cable pattern and made some gloves, using size 3 needles for the cuffs and size 4 for the main glove.
I always feel a little like Edward Scissorhands when I knit gloves:
