Machine Knit Fly Me To the Moon Fingerless Mitts Pattern

Living in the northern midwest of the US this year has been cold. Just plain cold. It started earlier than usual and seemed to stay very cold. So, on the days of -10 not including a wind chill, it was cold.

A majority of the week days I am home with just the cats while my husband is at work and the kids are off at school. I let the house temperature drop a few degrees and add on my sweaters and blankets so that the furnace doesn’t have to run all day long for just me. The cats have never said they minded it being cooler in the house either.

This fall I published a crochet fingerless mitts pattern that my girls confiscated the ones I made. So, with this cooler winter weather I was ready to make another pair just for me.

Machine Knit Diamond Lady Cardigan

I cannot even begin to express my excitement for this cardigan. Ever since making the Sweater Wrap Scarf I have been thinking of how to incorporate the tuck stitch into a cardigan.

The texture and visual interest that the tuck stitch brings to the fabric, and how easy it is to achieve makes it so worth it. Even making it on a LK150 with all hand transferred patterning it is simpler than you think with the repetitive tuck pattern.

Machine Knit Winter Windows Beanie Hat

For me, a knit winter hat is a must. I have made hats in the past with hand knitting, but I hadn’t on a machine. So, I started work on what would become the machine knit Winter Windows Beanie Hat.

Typically since you can knit in the round with needles, I’ve always just made them there. With them being fairly small and using worsted weight yarn they work up fairly quickly. However, as a machine knitter I wanted one made on my machine.
