Brimstone Butterfly Fingerless Mitts
A couple of years ago I was out one fine spring day chasing spring signs with my camera and managed to capture a Brimstone butterfly feeding from a coltsfoot. Both the butterfly and the coltsfoot are early spring signs here in Sweden. When you spot them you know it’s the end of several long and dark months.
I love the colour settings in the picture and have been looking for a way to turn this into a knitting project for quite a while. Finally I decided to dye my own Madelinetosh skein to match up the lemon yellow and light mint green. I settled for fingerless mitts, which are in fact a most useful accessory in the spring.
The pattern is made up of mixed knits and purls. There’s just a few cables. The tricky part might be to embroider the butterfly on at the end, but since I’m myself a beginner when it comes to embroidery it shouldn’t be too hard.
