Hand Springs Fingerless Mitts - Free Knitting Pattern
There are issues with copying and pasting from a word processing document to Vox, so I will only be able to provide you with a downloadable PDF of the pattern, located in my sidebar under My Links. One day after the Holidays I'll type up the whole pattern for you here in my post.
The pattern link is now in Ravelry.com and I have been dubbed an official designer. I guess I'd better start coming up with some original designs now!
Many thanks to my proof readers and test knitters, namely Bonnie, Donna, Jen, Katie, Linda, Sara and Susanna. Especially Linda Welch, who kindly gave permission for me to adapt her lace chart from the Spring Forwards socks. Such a gracious lady.
Also, Ellie of Crazy4Dyeing is now my supplier for the heavier laceweight yarn needed for the size 0 needles! Her new line, ElfinLace is a lovely 2-ply cashmere/silk blend in lovely semi-solids.
I finally worked up the gauge swatch for the Elfin Lace yarn...12 sts, 14 rows in stockinette equals 1 inch. I'll add this information to the PDF as soon as possible.
See THIS post.
Enjoy the pattern!

Oooo...I'd make double sure that Mama Hughes is reading, if I were you! Ha-ha!
Thanks for commenting, Amy!

Happy knitting!

Cool! As you can see in Ravelry, those who choose to make them using sock yarn need to minus a repeat, or perhaps two, if you have small hands. (haven't tried sock weight yet.) Lace weight yarn is ideal for the pattern as it is written.
Can't wait to see yours!
