Sparrow Lake

Surprise. Fiona has a new mitten pattern. Campers will be the first to see (and be able to purchase) the pattern.

From Fiona
They are called Sparrow Lake (after the lake at camp). The cables mirror images for each mitten and are based on what I will be teaching in the design with I-cords class.
I've asked Fiona to let me know the needle size. Just in case you want to start at Camp :)

They are knit in Sportmate from Lorna Lace's - a special colour called Sparrow Lake. Purple/blue and teal - totally my colours. Beth has dyed the yarn and it will be here in time for Camp.

Sportmate contains 30% Outlast Viscose. How does Outlast work?
Outlast technology, originally developed for NASA, utilizes phase change materials (PCM) that absorb, store and release heat for optimal thermal comfort. When you begin to get too warm, the Outlast technology will absorb and store excess heat radiating from the skin to reduce overheating and help prevent perspiration. When you begin to cool down, the stored heat is released, reducing chilling. By proactively managing heat, you regulate temperature so your customers feel not too hot, not too cold but "just right."
I can't wait to see them!
