From the couturecandy website:
“The Twinkle by Wenlan collection was born from designer Wenlan Chia’s affinity for design, love of art and prolific imagination. The collection is well known for whimsical and feminine designs that blend pop culture with the exotic. The perfect addition to your winter wardrobe, these arm warmers complete any casual outfit!”
Want a pair of these? Even if you had the between $84 and $124 needed to purchase these you’d be out of luck, because…..
But Twinkle loves knitters and the love is mutual. In the Holiday 2011 issue of Vogue Knitting magazine we have pattern #21 Arm Warmers Designed by Twinkle.
What is particularly generous about Ms Chia in making this pattern available is that this design isn’t merely last year’s item. It is hot out of the Twinkle by Wenlan Fall 2011 collection.
I just cranked out the first arm warmer for the right hand. The photo is unblocked right off the ndls but I’m not sure if this really needs blocking and, in any case, I don’t want to take it off (temperatures are starting to plummet around here). I love it and am super motivated to avoid second arm warmer syndrome (a malady from the 2nd sock syndrome group of diseases).
The pattern in the magazine does need a wee bit of tweaking. I knit it using magic loop ITR and need to mirror image the pattern after thumb placement for a truly symmetrical pair (further details on my Rav page).
Practical and stylish, it’s a quick knit, one of those deceptively simple patterns that give a tremendously sophisticated result.
THANK YOU TWINKLE!
