As I had hoped, the cable pattern finally became ingrained in my brain.
I got faster and faster. I enjoyed seeing each repeat forming from my needles.
I had no idea how the thumb might be formed but the Beira fingerless gloves pattern’s clear explanation made it (almost) childs play.

It is unblocked but already looks pretty good!
I thought I might have a rest between gloves but guess what? Buoyed by my momentum, I’ve cast on the second!
I might actually get to wear these before the daffodils appear.
Oh, they are already out where you are?
I’d better get cracking.
Love, Lucie x
Come further north and you will be safe, only seen one daffodil so far. Looking lovely and cosy.

I love the colour too. Just enough variation in the yarn to make it interesting.

That is a pretty cable design. Funnily enough, as I drove up to the front door just now I noticed the daffodil heads ready to burst open.

I’ve decided I’m taking Yorkshire as my benchmark.

They are well worth it. I really like the smaller cable running down the side by the thumb, a nice detail.

I expect you are glad you persevered the mitten looks great! I do have a few daffodils in a pot but the ones in the pot tend to come up earlier than ones in the garden and they aren’t open yet.

Yes, very glad I’ve persevered. It’s akin to not wanting to discard a novel because you are struggling with it!

LOL, looking good. I wouldn’t worry too much about the daffodils being out, still feels like winter. I don’t think we’ll be putting hats and gloves away any time soon 🙂
