Cursed Co-worker or Cursed Girlfriend Gift?
Yarn: Swan's Island Natural Colors
Cap Pattern: Côte-Nord Cap by Amy Christoffers
Free Fingerless Gloves Pattern: Maize (with modifications)
I knit this gift-set for a co-worker to give to his girlfriend for Christmas. I took no money for the yarn or the time it took to knit; that was my gift to him. Good Karma, right?
Sadly, I learned she accepted her lovely cap and no gap at the thumb gusset mitts knit in lovely 100% organic wool and then DUMPED him! I have heard of the sweater curse and I wonder if that curse split and formed a new unforgivable and yet to be identified curse.
Perhaps my co-worker is cursed and not my lovely gift set. I know this: I would not want her karma.
Notes: The Swan's Island Company yarn used for is 100% organic merino. It knit up with a soft hand and the color “Glacier” is a lovely shade of blue!!! The fabric is light but very warm. It took less than one skein for the hat.
I had just enough yarn left to knit a simple pair of hand-warmers to go with. I used a free pattern, Maize but made a few modifications as I knit.
The stitches in the hat and gloves relaxed during a short soak and the cap looked flawless and the mitts near-flawless after they dried.
...Happy Trails....
