Introducing pattern number 5 in the neoknits volume one collection: Lillian’s Mitts. Lillian’s Mitts are a nice transitional knit as we long for the warm days of Spring just around the corner.

Even though the Kid Silk is knit loose enough to be slightly sheer, the mohair/silk blend keeps your head plenty toasty! The natural haze of the [...]

A Small Diversion
