Well in Hand: First Look

Well in Hand, my very first collection, was released on Monday. If this is the first you’ve heard of it – well, where have you been?! Never mind – pop over to this post to have a quick catch up, then come back here. Done that? Great.

Let’s take a look inside, shall we?

Vanilla

A plain stockinette pattern with simple 2×2 ribbing at the wrist and finger cuff, Vanilla reminds us that sometimes, simple is best. Perfect for allowing a busy yarn to shine, or for layering under Rebel to add warmth and interest.

Vanilla is exclusive to Well in Hand and will not be available separately.

Raindrops

The perfect mitts for wet British weather! This whimsical raindrop stitch will take the chill off a cold umbrella handle as you go about your day. (Tip: if you really hate purling, simply switch every knit and purl stitch and knit them inside-out.)

Perforate

A handed pair of mitts with opposing diagonal eyelets, Perforate will suit even the most particular of mitt-wearers; they are a perfect reflection of each other, with the diagonals lining up perfectly when you put your hands together.

Keighley

Prounced KEITH-LEE, Keighley is a town in Yorkshire. It’s home to East Riddlesden Hall, a filming location in the heart of Brontë country. These mitts are so named for those adaptations, which are so often crammed with beautiful examples of handknits.

Keighley has been updated specially for Well in Hand and now features beads. Instructions for adding the beads are included in Well in Hand and also with a special edition of the pattern available as part of a kit directly from Giddy Aunt Yarns.

Rebel

Who says mitts have to keep your hands warm? Sometimes style takes priority over function. Sometimes the rules are supposed to be broken. (And if your hands get too cold, why not pop a pair of Vanilla mitts underneath?)

Halo

I always want to put the softest yarns on my hands, where I can feel it most keenly. Halo, named for the gently sparkling bands of singles and the fuzz around the mohair, is a simple knit that’s light as a feather and soft as air.

Halo is exclusive to Well in Hand and will not be available separately.

Hearth

A simple introduction to stranded colourwork, Hearth uses just two colours and only has a couple of rounds where it’s necessary to catch your floats, so they’re a great first colourwork project.

Midas

Designed to use exactly two mini skeins of Highland 4-ply, Midas is a thick, warm mitt that will keep you interested as you knit and warm as you wear. Featuring simple colourwork motifs, it’s suitable for confident beginners to stranded knitting.
