His and Hers

This year I knit my Grandparents coordinating gloves for their Christmas presents.  They were enjoyable to knit and very well received.

I couldn’t find any patterns I really liked,  so I combined a couple of different patterns to get the finished product.  The cuffs are worked from stitch motifs in a couple of sock patterns and the rest of the gloves are worked from the generic glove pattern found in Ann Budd’s book “The Knitter’s Handy Book of Patterns”.

Cards & Yarn :)

Even when making cards I can’t seem to get away from yarn.   I worked this up the other day for a friend’s birthday.  It was a lot of fun and really easy to do.  I just sketched out what I wanted the design to look like, poked all the holes with a metal tapestry needle, erased the design, and then got to work “sewing”.   

My stash had just the right colors for this work of art.

Mindless Knitting

Complicated patterns are fun.  No doubt about that.  I love working on an item and seeing something beautiful and timeless (i.e. time consuming ) unfold.  For a while there all I wanted to knit was cables, lace, and bumpy textures.  After two lacy sweaters and a pair of complicated socks, though, I’ve once again come to enjoy what I call “mindless knitting”:  projects that require little thought.

 

 The socks I’m working on right now are just that.  I was able to knit about one third of them while watching The Fellowship of the Ring.  I hardly had to look at my hands at all, I didn’t have to squint over a pattern chart, and I didn’t discover any mistakes when the movie finished!  It was glorious.   Easy projects are rewarding in their own special way.

 

Pattern:   Sock pattern from The Knitter’s Handy Book of Patterns, plus Priscilla’s Dream Socks pattern for the short-row heel and toe
