amimono note

knitting with homespun yarn

Fingerless gloves for K using my spindle spun yarn. The pattern is from "The Knitter's Handy Book of Patterns". I love this book.

I think Interweave Knits' multiple gauge patterns are one of the reasons I got into knitting, because I can use any yarn I like. It was not common in Japan (I think still not), so when I saw it first time I was shocked by the concept of multi-gauge. That is so clever! I really think Keito-dama(*) should have at least one multi-gauge pattern in each issue.

(*) A Japanese knitting magazine, their web site is in Japanese. I can't believe their web site has not updated since spring 2002...
