I wanted to make some gloves from this yarn ever since I saw it in someone else’s stash, I had been itching to knit something with it and in my head I could see what it was. The colourway is from a series of yarns created by Skeinqueen, inspired by Pushing Daisies TV series. The fairisle pattern is almost a circle that shifts along on each repeat. The pattern is knit in the contrast colour yarn and the thumb has a different pattern. In my head I was thinking of Olive Snook, circles, strange quirks and sunny days

The yarn is hand dyed by Skein Queen, Squash, fingering/ 4ply (14 wpi) UK merino yarn, dyed in the UK. Machine wash on cool cycle
