citrus slice: t-shirt

the inspiration for citrus slice was, as the name suggests, a slice of citrus fruit! the natural structure of the fruit works perfectly with the circular yoke construction of this garment. it is worked from the top down, and it ends at the natural waist for a cropped style. the citrus-like colorwork is created using duplicate stitch.

twisty mittens

i originally wanted to make mittens with columns of tiny cables. after knitting a few rounds i realized that was Not Fun, so i switched to twists. the construction of the mittens are based on circular yoke sweaters--there is no gusset, but rather the increases for the thumb are spread out within the purl ribs around the circumference creating a gradual spreading effect.
