Renegade Craft Fair!

I'm slowly gearing up for the Renegade Craft Fair coming up in just 25 days (who's counting?). By this I mean I'm cranking out random half pairs of mitts here and there, but you would more or less find me asleep next to mounds of thumbless and half-finished glovelets. Within the past year or so of running my Etsy shop I've focused mainly on providing custom/made-to-order gloves, so trying to stockpile a huge amount of gloves that I only hope I can turnover is intimidating.

Right now my "glovelets here and there" strategy involves me moving my half finished gloves to a basket that I have yet to inventory. My hope is that I'll end up pleasantly surprised with the amount of gloves I've accumulated in my little basket, but I shouldn't be so ignorant. Time to fire up Excel and make my marketing professors proud.


If you'll be in the Bay Area on July 18th or 19th, please drop by! You can find me there with my two very talented coworkers, Jeanette and Michelle. Although Jeanette's shop is in pre-production, you can check out some of Michelle's work here.

Morning Fog Mitts

I love the weather of San Francisco almost as much as I love complaining about it. But since cool-weather accessories like fingerless mitts and cowls are my favorite things to cook up, I've been getting busy. My timing is obviously a little off as July is right around the corner, but I'm posting these mitts regardless. For all the folks out there still fighting chilly breezes and cool nights, today is your day! For everyone else, I'll see ya in the fall.

Shopping? These hand crocheted mitts are listed here.

100% merino wool
hand wash, dry flat

Making a pair for yourself? Free pattern is listed on Ravelry (search: Morning Fog Mitts from K.M. Knits/Katelyn Cowan). If you're not registered for Ravelry, the PDF is available from Google Sites.

They use only a small amount of worsted weight yarn (don’t tell me I’m the only person with random Malabrigo leftovers all over the place) and can be worked up in no time. A perfect beginner project for newbies (and experts with fabulous taste). Work them up over a couple episodes of evening trash TV and face tomorrow morning’s cruel fog lookin’ fancy and fresh.
