Fetching, A Pair

I have finished my pair of Fetching gloves. Two days, two gloves. These are very quick to knit and I learned a new thumb technique to boot. I am rather pleased with these and I adore the color. Did I mention the Rowan Wool Cotton is so soft and comfortable?

I love these and recommend them to everyone. It's funny, because I had passed these up when they came out at Knitty. I did not originally like them. I am so happy I was persuaded to make a pair. I love them.

HAPPY WEEKEND, everyone!

One Fetching Down, One To Go

Alright, I could not stand it anymore...I had to make some fingerless mitts. Everyone else was doing it...

I decided that I would try to make Knitty's Fetching. So far, I only have one to hand to show. I just finished the one, this afternoon. I will begin the second one, tonight probably. I am feeling rather proud of myself. This is my first attempt at cables in the round. Also, the thumb part was a first for me, too. I was sweating and nervous when it was time to remove the waste yarn. One slip...and that would have been the end of my glove.
The yarn is Rowan Wool Cotton (50% wool, 50% cotton) in # 955 Ship Shape. It's sort of a dark teal color. Me likey!

So, there you have it...I have proof of knitting. My ongoing projects are still that, ongoing. UGH! I hope to finish the second glove by tomorrow, or so. Toodles for now...

Overdue Pictures

I've been bugging my mom and brother to get a picture of these for ages!! Et, Voila! One of four pairs of Knucks that I made as Christmas presents. Actually, my brother got these for his birthday. lol They say ALL♠ ACES, and he says they are his lucky gloves. :) Clicky on the pic to see a bigger/better view.

Punky Brewster

My latest project were some Punky Brewster-esque wrist warmers.

I had tried to make the wrist warmers from Last Minute Knitted Gifts but they were too tight so I decided to design my own. I used Patons Classic Wool Merino in Rosewood and size 7 DPNs.

The pattern is super easy, free, and on my blog.
