I’ve had fun raiding my sock yarn stash for the Santa Fe Mitts I’m designing. I settled on Lorna’s Laces for the oranges, blues and greens. The deep reddish color is named “Manzanita” – the arid climate plant with the lovely red stems. Perfect!
Regia 4-Ply provides the heathered background colors. I’m going for the look of rocks and tree bark.
After a few more adjustments, and my tech editor finding all the mistakes that I’m sure aren’t there when I read the pattern, and the Santa Fe Mitts pattern will be ready. It’ll be sized for men, in mens’ medium and large.
I love the colors! The heathered background really shows them off!
What wonderful colors and truly has a Southwestern feel.
