Star Flame fingerless mittens
The motif design for this is inspired by the Guiding Star symbol. Two colours are knitted into each row, the colours alternately carried behind the work to create a soft and lightweight double-layer fabric which has excellent insulation qualities.
The Guiding Star symbol is known in many cultures - leading
us and lighting the way to our goal in life.
In the northern hemisphere the pre-eminent bright
star used in celestial navigation is the Pole Star or
Polaris (Alpha Ursae Minoris), indicating the approximate
direction of north.
Many traditional fairisle knitting motifs feature a star
a favourite with knitters – as it lends itself so well to
the stranded colour work technique.

Mitaines Etoile de Feu
Inspiré par l'étoile Guide, deux couleurs sont travaillés sur chaque rang, les couleurs tenus derrière pour créer un tissu léger de double couche - de bonne isolation pour les jours frais.
L'étoile Guide est un motif ancien, qu'on voit souvent – elle nous guide et illumine le chemin vers notre objectif dans la vie.
Dans l'hémisphère nord, l'étoile brillante prédominante utilisée dans la navigation céleste est l'étoile polaire ou Polaris (Alpha Ursae Minoris), indiquant la direction approximative du nord.
De nombreux motifs de tricot fairisle traditionnels comportent une étoile - une favorite des tricoteurs car elle se prête si bien à cette technique.
