Apparently I’m obsessed with warm fingers this winter. This current project is gloves for my sister. If you can spot the mistake, I’ll give you a penny. If you can convince me that it adds personality, I’ll give you a twenty dollar bill.
This is a cowl for my mom. My design, although I am still unconvinced about my choice of a border pattern. It’s growing on me.
Happy New Year!
I have been knitting for nearly 19 years, but this past year was my most prolific, and I learned so much. I learned left and right leaning increases, knitting 3D objects, some cool uses for twisted stitches. I learned several new cast-on methods and at least one new cast-off. I began work on three original patterns, and while I haven’t finished any of them yet, I have started moving in a direction I like with my own work.
I fell in love with the twisted stitch pattern of these mittens, so I knit them for myself. They’re a little large, so I’m considering knitting a liner for them.
Liked the pattern so much I knitted a second pair over New Year’s for my pregnant baby sister, using a wool/angora blend and a little smaller needles. They’re divinely soft.
Knit for a hard-core Twilight fan, she loved them.
My New Year’s resolutions for my knitting are to finish my mitt pattern and my simple cowl pattern, offering the latter for free on Ravelry while I figure out the logistics of selling the former both there and at my LYS. I would like to take a class on spinning, and perhaps one in knitting, just to get my feet wet, see whether that’s a direction I could move my own talents.
