Spin-Off Winter 2010

The Winter 2010 issue of Spin-Off magazine is so full of fiber that if you snuggled up next to it, it will keep you warm. Open the pages and you'll find (images of) angora, qiviut, alpaca, and sheep's wool tucked into every available space, plus lots of great tips on how to spin these fibers. This year, we've included a six-page Natural Fiber Directory in the issue—this is a special section that you can pull out and take with you for reference when you're shopping for natural fiber. As a bonus, we included enlarged versions of the charts for the Qiviut Shawlette by Sandi Wiseheart on the back of the directory (the charts are also included with the pattern in the magazine). The pattern for the half-gloves shown on the cover is included in the handspun gallery, along with six versions of the half-gloves showing just the tip-of-the-iceberg of what can be done with the pattern if you vary the fiber, color, and/or grist of the yarn you use.

Loved the fingerless gloves in the Winter 2010 I just received.  I would like to get the rest of the pattern on page 100 for the thumb addition. Thanks

Re; Carol Heubscher Rhoades fingerless gloves

I was interested in the yarn she used but Dyespot.com is not on the web.  Can someone suggest something similar?

Thanks!

JillianE, did you figure out the pattern? The text says: On every third round, she added a stripe of each color by knitting into the side of each stitch below the 2 center sts of the gusset. Do you need more info?

MiriamR@7, I'll check with Carol about where she got the fiber.

MiriamR@7: I just heard back from Carol and she said that the address should have been http://www.dyepot.com. She also recommends Abstract Fiber (http://www.abstractfiber.com/) for similar fibers and colorways.

I am really sorry we didn't catch the error sooner. Thanks for asking so we could figure it out!
