Stripy Magic

I have a very good friend, Lynn. She's magic, as I've already mentioned. In February, I made her some special socks.

It was special yarn, and I had some left over. I asked if she'd like stripy fingerless gloves, and she said she would. I weighed the yarn, split it into two parts, and started knitting. I paired it with a sparkly black since she's magic. Magic sparkles.

 

In a Hanukah-like miracle, I had enough yarn to continue the striping all the way up each mitt.

and Knit Picks Stroll Glimmer, Black colorway

 

This pattern reminds me of the Jaywalker sock pattern, which I like a lot. I like the way it makes the edging interesting, and it gets more pronounced with a bit of blocking.
