Knitted Fingerless Glove

I have been knitting fingerless gloves. First I made plain stockinette stitch with a knit in thumb in a dark navy blue 2/24 acrylic yarn knit 2 strands. I purchased some sequined ribbon which I added for an accent.




  The second pair of fingerless gloves were a black novelty yarn, knit a using my lace carriage on the 965i Knitting machine with a knit in thumb. I accented the gloves with pearls.





The third fingerless gloves are a Victorian style vintage glove that are laced up in the front. I knit the top and bottom in dark navy blue and the body of the fingerless gloves in Kelly green 2/20 acrylic from our web site. I had to re-figure where to put the thumb in this pair as there was not a side seam it was actually the opening down the front of the gloves.
The fourth pair of fingerless gloves have a knit in bracelet using chainette silver yarn and accented with beads.

New Vintage Hat Design

I have been playing around with a new hat design. I wanted it to look rather vintage in style. I added pearls to the flower on the side and the other hat I added some jewelry pieces. What do you think of my design? I knit it on the standard machine. the garter stitches I knit with the garter carriage however you can turn your knitting either with a garter bar or take off your knit onto double pointed  or circular knitting needles and turn placing knitting back up on the machine. Pattern will soon be available in Stephanies Club Newsletter. Stephanies Studio and Yarn.

Warm Hats and Scarves machine knitting

I knit these hats and scarves on my Brother-Knitking knitting machine. When knitting with 2/24 or 1/12 acrylic I knit using 2 strands. The Hat was at tension 7 and the scarves were knit full needle rib so I used tension 4/4 or 5/5 depending on the yarn. When knitting with 2/17 acrylic I knit one strand tension7.
