Cupcakes or Gnomes? Answer and win!
ETA: The voting is now closed. Thanks to everyone who participated!
The Strawberry socks are going to be finished today (and the pattern will be released very, very soon,) but one vital question remains:
Who would win in a fair fight..?
Cupcakes...
...or gnomes??
I'm turning both mitten patterns into sock patterns (yup, you heard me!) and I'm trying to decide which to work first, but I just can't choose. I'm going to need your help on this one!
So! Leave your response to the question "Who would win in a fair fight -- cupcakes or gnomes" (and the creative reasoning behind your decision, if you like) below in the comments and I'll randomly select a commenter to win a copy of both sock patterns as soon as they are released (remember that each pattern retails for $6 USD.) The polls will close on Saturday, 24 July at 8 a.m. EST.

Cupcake mitten pattern is live!
Finally, finally, I come bearing the Cupcake Mittens pattern! Grab it here on Ravelry (and yes, in the Etsy shop too -- soon.)
Cute mittens featuring everyone’s favourite treat – cupcakes! Sweet little cakes (in several different flavours) march across both the back-of-hand and the palm of these charming mittens. A striped thumb adds contrast and interest.
I should also mention that (as usual,) instructions are provided for making fingerless Cupcake Mittens as well!
Das infos:
Size: Women’s Medium (or any hand that is 8” in circumference.)
Gauge: 9 stitches = 1 inch (2.5 cm) in Stockinette st.
Yarn: One ball of Knit Picks’ Palette (231yd / 50g) in Bluebell (Main Colour -- MC,) and partial skeins of Knit Picks Palette in the following Contrast Colours: Custard (Contrast Colour A– CCA,) White (Contrast Colour B – CCB,) Rouge (Contrast Colour D – CCD,) Doe (Contrast Colour E – CCE,) Bark (Contrast Colour F – CCF,) Pimento (Contrast Colour G – CCG,) Cotton Candy (Contrast Colour H – CCH) and Garnet Heather Doe (Contrast Colour I – CCI.) Alternately, any other fingering yarn in these colours or colours of your choice may be used. A 15” piece of waste yarn of the same weight in a contrasting colour to hold the thumb stitches is also required.
Needles: One set of five (5) double pointed needles in US 1 (2.25 mm) or size necessary to obtain gauge.
Notions: A stitch marker to mark beginning of round (optional,) and a sewing needle to weave in ends.
Skills Needed: Increasing and decreasing, knitting in the round, stranded knitting, twisted stitches, and chart reading.
Now I'm off to go chart the NEXT two mitten patterns. Stay tuned!
