Medianoche Gloves (and a giveaway!)
A while ago, Stephanie from SpaceCadet Creations and I were talking and we came up with a brilliant idea. I’d design a pattern for her Yarn Alliance members I was delighted. Not only because I love a little challenge but because her people could get a taste of rock+purl… and YOU could get a taste of Stephanie’s yarns too. HOW, you say? Yummy yarn, don’t you think?
