i was getting a touch bored knitting the leg of my 2nd tofutsie sock..
so i cast-on lexi's winter cardi..
(you can hear the 'one project at a time' resolve flapping away out the window..)
which is an A-line garment knit entirely in one piece..
naturally i got bored of doing that too...
so i knit these-
they're wrist warmers from the "last-minute knitted gifts" book, knit using Yarn Bee Down to Earth soy/cotton blend...
they're not knit to gauge i don't think, cos they're quite small, thus perfect for my hands, and being soy/cotton they don't have the elasticity of wool, but i think the ribbing will compensate for that!
i added an extra pattern repeat in the wrist, and reversed the pattern for the second one, so they spiral in opposite directions.. i also found a mistake in the pattern, but i won't mention it, cos then you won't spot it! ;-)
i'm liking these a lot already!
oh yeah.. they took me a day each to knit, which means they are *super-dooper* fast!!
