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

Rebekah — Thu, 04 Sep 2008 08:00:31 +0000

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

Yarn: Louet Gems – fingering weight – Baby Neptune
