Meditation Knitting.

The green mittens are DONE! So, that means, time to start three new projects all at once! Last night I cast one for the leg warmers I want to do for myself, a hat for Bob and a hat for myself. I knit the last pair of leg warmers for a gift swap and have knit two pair of wristlets that have also been gifted away. So, the leg warmers could be just that or wristlets. We'll see what size they turn out to be.

I have been really getting to enjoy knitting and actually find it quite relaxing. I keep the patterns simple and the projects small and I'm sure that's part of it.

Knitted Wristlets

WOW! I know what you are thinking; two posts in one day! But I have been the uber creative, busy girl this weekend. I painted the pumpkins in the previous post, filled my window boxes with fake flowers (Which I won't probably show you because they are, well, fake.), and knitted these "wristlets". I love this yarn.

A very generous co-worker friend gifted me with tons of beautiful yarn that I'm sure I would never have bought myself because I'm too cheap to spend that much on yarn. This stuff is gorgeous!

The wristlets here were knitted with Noro, Silk Garden. The yarn in made in Japan and is beautiful. It self strips and each skein contains many colors. These were done with one skein and look at the variety of color. Amazing stuff.

I have one more skein that I'm going to make a hat from. I also have at least two skeins from Noro of Kureyon. I'm really going to have to take a knitting class. I don't have enough skill to get through all of this.
