(The light is bad here too - same reason as here)
The red looks more red in person, and the white doesn't glow in person.
The grey yarn is by Berroco and is called Vintage - it's a combo of wool and acrylic so that I can wash them. The red and white is Vanna's Choice acrylic from Michaels.
The pattern is by the Yarn Harlot and is called Cloisonné (and it can be found on ravelry.com under Stephanie Pearl McPhee). If you knit or crochet, and you haven't checked out ravelry, you must. It's a perfect social media site made for knitters and crocheters. You can store your yarn stash there. I wish someone would make one for quilters.
These were a relatively quick knit, once I got the sizing right. I did pull them back several times until I got the width and length right. I had a little trouble in the cuff, but it worked out fine. These are knit from the cuff to the fingertip.
I've gotten several compliments on them and I love them so far!
I've started another pair, different pattern, in a much lighter weight yarn - for spring.
These aren't too far along, and they require a lot of concentration, since they are two colours. I'll keep you posted.
They are really beautiful! But I hope you don't need them for a looooooong time. :)
