simple but beautiful

something i can finally show you. this beautiful pattern was designed by one of the owners of my lys. i love the touch of the hannah's silk ribbon. they are supposed to have a small button tied in the ribbon but i haven't found any yet.


the pattern is called victorian winter mitts and uses debbie bliss cashmerino aran and astrakhan. the small handkerchief in the picture is one i picked up at liberty of london.


this pattern is so charming. although it wasn't fun to work with the astrakhan. the shop sample was in a deep red but i chose the winter white to give it a very classic look. and the contrast with my brown wool coat is very nice. now i need a winter white leather handbag to pull it all together. must repeat over and over "i am on a budget" :)

Oooh! I love them! The white is a nice choice. I have been thinking about hand warmers lately. My hands are so cold when I am walking to the bus stop in the morning. I have to finish my Wallaby first(reminding myself not to start any new projects).

Love the white, love the finished product, love the picture...it's so very you! So, is the pattern something that we can purchase from the shop? I'm thinking that I need some...and I've been looking for the perfect reason to buy some of that DB Astrakhan. Fun!
