By Karen B. Strata Fingerless Gloves I thought for sure that my friend T’s Rikke would spell the last of my winter knitting. I figured that she’d have very few chances to wear her hat, which was the last of a 3-piece gift: Rikke, Strata (from “Knitting New Mittens and Gloves”) and Eleanor. Har-dee-har-har.

I took one down from the armoire where they’re being stored out of cat’s reach to show to her. She exclaimed, [...] By Karen B. Citron (Knitty Winter 2009).
