Hi there Dana. I’m a new member of Ravelry and I’ve just collected your glove pattern to use up a bit of homespun in a nice mid-brown that used to belong to a Jacobs ewe. Many thanks for your generousity in sharing the pattern. I’m thinking about using that cable on some matching socks as well – not that anyone is going to de-shoe me to check that my feet and hands match! (not unless they want a fist in the mouth, that is!)
Kind regards. Pam
