It's totally worth it though, since I am madly in love with my new place! It's an 85 year old 2.5 level with wonderful vintage features like a clawfoot bathtub and gorgeous register covers.
The dishwasher, while not a vintage feature, is nonetheless also ranking high on the "good things about the house" list.
So! To celebrate my big move into this treasure from the 1920s, I'd like to offer you a little something. You might recall Guardian (Ravelry link) the mitten I designed that was inspired by the Guardian Building in Detroit? I'm making the somewhat tenuous connection between the building and my house since they were both built during the same decade, and you get to reap the rewards!
The Guardian mitten pattern comes in two different colourways, Building (orange and yellow with white and green) and Deco (black and cream with pastel accents.) Instructions are provided for making both mittens and fingerless gloves.The first 25 people to comment here requesting the pattern will be sent a free copy! Please remember to leave your email address in the comment, or, if you don't feel comfortable doing that, send it to spillyjaneknits {at} gmail {dot} com. I solemnly swear that I will mostly likely promptly forget your email address entirely and that I will not abuse it in any way. All I want it for is to send 25 of you nice (and quick) people a free Art Deco mitten pattern.
Now I'd better go unpack something...
ETA: Oh wow, thanks so much everyone for the rapid repsonse! I'm sending out the patterns in smallish groups in between unpacking things (someone deliver me from all the boxes!)
There are still a few patterns up for grabs...and Nestra, if you're reading this, I need your email address so I can send you your copy of the pattern! ~j

I would love a copy of the pattern. I also live in an old house built around 1920 but unfortunately no room in the kitchen for a dishwasher just me and my knitted dish cloths.

Am I too late for the mitten pattern?! Ack!!! Oh- looks like I might be under the wire at 22 comments.
Welcome home Jane. May you get much joy from your new digs.
congrats! i'd love a copy :) thanks for sharing it with us!
Congrats on a new house! New to you that is. Old houses have character that's missing in the new ones.
Lovely mitten - I hope I made the cutoff. Thanks!
The mittens are so cool! I know I don't qualify anymore, but I just wanted to let you know that they are beautiful :)
Truly beautiful....Congrats on your new digs!
oh i'm too late. but your new place`sounds lovely,
I know I've missed the pattern but wanted to wish you luck in your new old home! I grew up in a beautiful old house that still had the old gas lights on the walls! Enjoy and have fun!!!

Congrats on your move. The new house sounds nice & all the best on unpacking.
Somehow I only just discovered your patterns, and I love them (found and cast on for Heather's Mittens today). I'm sure all the free copies of this are taken, but I thought it couldn't hurt to ask just in case four months later... ahem. Anyway! I live in SE Michigan, near Detroit, so I think this design is particularly cool. I like the Deco colorway!

I am sure you have given out all of the free patterns by this point, but I love this pattern so much. I grew up in Detroit and I just lost my a mitten from my beloved pair of Mystery and Manners I just fished knitting this winter. But I look forward to this project.
But if you have any left, jbiehldesigns@gmail.com
Thank you so much and I love your work!
