I started Backyard Leaves last December, but put it away a few repeats from completion at the beginning of the spring. A few weeks ago, I got it out and finished it up.
I loved the textured, sculptured look of the leaves, so I very loosely blocked it, stretching it more lengthwise than widthwise.
Yarn: Knitpicks Ambrosia (cashmere and alpaca-so soft and warm!)Neeldes: US 6
Pattern: Backyard Leaves from Scarf Style
And when I saw the scarf, I knew it needed some matching fingerless gloves.
I designed the gloves on the fly, using a leaf lace/cable stitch pattern from my stitch calender.
I got both gloves out of 1 ball of Indeceita Alpaca (discontinued, sport weight 100% Baby Alpaca), a Christmas gift from Hub.
I'll eventually write up the pattern, if you'd like it, let me know!

Those are both very beautiful, and I'd love to see the pattern for the gloves.
Beautiful and creative! I'd definitely be interested in the pattern.
Indeed, I would love that pattern! It looks lovely with those socks!
So elegant! I am sad to hear about Indiecita being discontinued, but hope that you will post the pattern for the fingerless gloves to Lonesome Skein, where I found your post.
The scarf and the gloves are both lovely. I would love a pattern for both, if and when you can get around to it. Hard to put the needles down, isn't it ?
