Getting Technical With It, part III

Hi there! I am writing this blogpost from San Francisco. My wifi connection is super slow, and I am about to go crazy, but I simply have to get this blogpost out!

Over the past 2 weeks, I have been working hard on a very simple and basic fingerless glove pattern. I scheduled to release the pattern about a week ago, but then changed my mind. I did not have the feeling it was ready to be released yet and decided to go another route. My initial plan was to release the pattern in sportsweight gauge. My new plan is to release the pattern in three different gauges: Worsted -, sports-, and sock weight. Also, several people have been asking on how I go about designing and writing a pattern. And I would love to talk some more about that too. So let's get...
