New mitten -- Psychic Hearts -- is out

The pattern for Psychic Hearts is now available! The best part? It's only $3 for the rest of the summer! So if you're crazy enough to want to get a jump on winter and knit mittens in the heat (like me,) well, here you go.
Named for the Thurston Moore song of the same name, these cute colourwork mittens are a perfect introduction to the world of fine-gauge colourwork knitting. The pattern is easily memorized and worked, and is a great way to use up odd scraps of leftover fingering-yarn. Use two alternating colours or as many as you’d like to make these mittens your own!

NOTE: The pattern also includes instructions for making these as fingerless mittens.

Get it here, on Etsy or here, on Ravelry.
