I’m excited to have been asked to be a part of Knit Red – a new book collaboration between Jimmy Beans Wool and Vogue Knitting.
For my contribution to the book, I thought a red reprise of the Druid Mittens (Remember these? They were featured on the cover of Vogue Knitting magazine in the Fall of 2008) would be beautiful. The submission timeline dovetailed with the launch of Loft last year, so I had to give these classics a whirl in our Long Johns colorway. I love how rich they are – a nice contrast to the apple green Shetland wool of the original pair.
The book is officially released in June and features patterns from a host of great folks – I’m looking forward to seeing it!
Beautiful work.
Oh my goodness but those are gorgeous!
Love them.
I want to make a pair.
Wow, I liked the green ones, but these are just fantastic! Can’t wait to see the whole book.
Just perfect. Love that pattern.
Gorgeous deep colour, and I love the contrast against the rug.
This pattern has been in my queue as a must knit, too. Can’t wait to see the book!
Gorgeous! I actually like this color much better than the original mittens, this is so deep and beautiful!
I’m also looking forward to the book – I love the fact that knit and crochet are represented side by side.
And of course those mittens are just cable-perfect!
Jared-
Such a beautiful rendition of those mittens! We are so thrilled and honored to have you be part of our book! Thank you!
On a personal note, I’ve been a fan of your work for years and I was so excited that my market bag design was featured right after your mittens in the book. Such a privilage to be included with so many amazing designers!
Thanks again for joining us in the fight against heart disease!
Happy knitting,
Kristen Ashbaugh Helmreich
Di-VINE!!
Marvelous, especially since I have 10 skeins of “Long Johns” sitting staring at me. Much prefer this version to the green!
Wonderfull, your work and design are a great inspiration§
Congrats!
My ‘Stitch Red’ book came last week and I saw these gorgeous mittens and thought not only would they be a challenge and worthwhile to knit, but they are absolutely spectacular to wear!
So elegant!
These look like they’d be so much fun to knit – a beautiful challenge. I love your new yarn, and the fantastic colors.
