When I last visited Sacramento, I talked to my aunt who I had previous gifted a pair of fingerless mitts made of cashmere. She told me she used them to death and would like another pair. She had a friend make another pair for her out of cheap yarn and they are breaking down.
I saw the Rock Strata Mitts on the Stockinette Zombies podcast and liked the striping effect. I figured I had the perfect yarn since I had dyed up the bison yarn I got from Judith MacKenzie at the Texas retreat while at the retreat in a red tint.
At Black Sheep Gathering, I picked up a green skein of the same yarn. So with the pattern and the two skeins, I could make two pairs of these mitts. I think it will be fun to have a matching set with my aunt.
