Interstices (and Giveaway)
The pattern for Interstices is now available. There’s a wee giveaway, read on for details.
I probably shouldn’t say it, but I sort of love these. They’re quick, can be made from leftover bits of sock yarn, and are super stretchy. All of that makes them eminently suitable for gift/swap knitting. They look far more complicated than they are (the main repeat is only 4 rows long), which always feels somehow both sneaky and deeply satisfying. Add in their shamelessly frilly fluffy frivolous nature and their bargain price ($1.99 through Knit Picks Independent Designer program), and I’m not sure you could really ask for more.
And yet, I do have one more thing to offer. I’ve got yarn to give away — two skeins this time. The yarn is Knit Picks Imagination, one skein of Damsel (the color shown in the pictures) and another of Unicorn (another suitably pink bit of frippery). Since I’ve got two skeins of yarn, I want to do two slightly different giveaways. You’ve got a pretty decent chance of winning, so pay attention!
The first is super simple. Just leave a comment. That’s it, that’s all. Leave a comment, and use a real email address. In a few days, I’ll randomly pick a comment, email the winner to ask for a mailing address, and send off the yarn. I’ll also send this pattern and another of the winner’s choice. Easy as pie, right?
The second is just a tiny bit more complicated, but I’m sure you can manage it. I want to give those folks who’ve bought my patterns an extra chance to win. So, if you’ve ever bought one of my patterns, leave a comment with the name of the pattern you’ve purchased. Again, use a real email address. In a few days, I’ll randomly pick one of these comments, email the winner with some sort of very easy question to make sure they really have the pattern, ask for a mailing address, and send off the yarn. Again, I’ll include this pattern and another of the winner’s choice. And yes, if you’ve bought more than one pattern you can leave more than one comment.
So just to recap, everyone who leaves a comment is entered in the first giveaway. If you’ve ever bought any of my patterns, leave the name of the one you bought in another comment (or comments) to be entered in the second giveaway. If you don’t use a real email address, you can’t win (no one but me will see your email addresses, and I won’t do anything with them other than contact the winners). I’ll leave comments open for at least three days.
Those are gorgeous! I’m not sure how I haven’t found your blog, but I’m subscribing 😀
Wow, those are very cool. And I’ve been looking for patterns for small amounts of yarn to use with some recent handspun. These may be perfect.
So nice & lacy, makes them look like Spring.
These are so pretty! I love patterns that can be made to look complicated, even if they’re secretly very easy.
I would love a chance at this yarn. Congrats on the new pattern.
Those are great fingerless mitts! Love them!
Great design- has all of the elements I love. Super yarn, fun stitch pattern that shows off the yarn, quick to complete and highly wearable.
Plus your announcement on Ravelry led me to you blog, which I now have on my toolbar fro regular reading =]
I love these. They are so pretty.
I’ve been waiting for this since I first saw the picture!
So so lovely! Even if I don’t win, I will definitely be purchasing! 😀
So pretty!! Would be awesome for the cold evenings we still have here. 🙂
Good job!
Love the mits! They remind me of a pair of socks that has been in my favorites list for ages.
These are lovely. I would love a chance to win the yarn and the pattern. Thank you for the great giveaway.
These are beautiful! Great job 😀

Beautiful pattern. I’ve been wanting to try fingerless mitts for awhile now. Maybe this is my chance!
And I also have purchased Graupel, which appears to be a great pattern for the yarn I recently purchased.
Beautiful mitts – and my favorite go-to gift! Will definitely go into my queue!
Lovely pattern! I really like the way they are simple on the inside (less risk of snagging) and pretty on the outside. Nice colourway too!
I wanted so much to be entered in the second contest, I just bought Popped – wonderful sock patterns too!!!
Hunter, I love your designs! This one is just great — but I would expect nothing less from you….
Absolutely lovely pattern!
Are the openings basically buttonholes? What a neat idea.
These look lovely! I am constantly looking for easy fingerless gloves to knit up as they have become a trademark for my younger (college) daughter! She is always asking for new ones and I just can’t knit them fast enough!
Love them Hunter, Can’t wait to knit these
These are great. They make me want to try something like this. I am a beginner knitter and am looking for easy patterns. 🙂
