I finally got around to buying a hand model.  After searching online and at an art supply store, I found them at a big-chain bookstore (the one in Ala Moana, for those who are wondering).  I have been wanting one (or ten) of these for many years.

The fingerless mitt is the pattern I’ve been working on for Twisted handdyed yarns.  This pattern has gone through a few iterations; this one is the easiest as well as most comfortable version that also takes advantage of the gorgeous colorway (this is DK weight superwash, colorway Exile). Done in 1×1 ribbing, this can be worked flat in one piece and then seamed up the side, or worked in the round in one piece.  I’m working out a variation in a seed-pearl rib that might have some lace worked into it. I still need to format the pattern and submit it for approval; I will of course let you know if it will be offered in the Twisted shop.  This is a quick and fairly simple pattern with great gift-knitting potential!  Size shown is S/M (very stretchy) on a 7" (measured around the palm) model.
