Chantilly Lace Fingerless Mitts

« Knottylady Designs Showstoppers's Gallery

(Knit Textile Art)

I knitted these lovely lace patterned fingerless mitts when I was attempting to design fingerless mitts for bridesmaids for a wedding in October. The bride will be wearing white fingerless mitts but these are only for my use. The bridesmaids will be wearing black & white. I also knitted a white lace garter for the bride. These fingerless mitts are knitted in all cotton variegated yarn. I hand stitched lovely green seed beads around the top edge and around the thumb gusset. I embroidered French knots around the lower top edge to highlight the seed beads. I also knitted ICORDS 8-10 inches long & placed seed beads at each end for embellishment. The ICORD pulls through to tighten the mitt on the wrist area.

Trendy or traditional ; pretty and petite are perfect adjectives for these gorgeous knitted , felted & needle felted bags. Until I have a bag in the works and complete it; I have never "FELT" this kind of passion for an art form which is not unique to this era but has been handed down though generations and has become more popular for bags, slippers,mittens, scarves and anything that can be knitted with the gorgeous wools on the market along with so many beautiful novelty yarns. I hope that you enjoy looking at my felted pieces as much as I enjoy the whole process from hand spun yarn to kettle dyeing to the final felting process it is a challenging and fulfilling artform. The process of needle felting adds decorative wool 'pictures' to my finished felted pieces & at times gives the piece a three dimentional look. It is a very rewarding process. I have used many mediums and this is one of my favorites because it is like 'PAINTING WITH YARN". My theme bags/totes are exciting to create but I have other artistic creations that I will enjoy sharing with you. Thank You for stopping by. Patricia Maxwell
