hurry up spring armwarmers
for: myself
yarn: <2 skeins of kureyon by noro in 088
needles: us size 5 double-pointed needes (set of 4)
pattern: hurry up spring armwarmers by renee rigdon
source: stitch 'n bitch nation by debbie stoller
i LOVE these and am so glad i decided to make them. they use surprisingly little yarn (i'm actually thinking of making a second pair.), and have actually made me a better knitter. i can't even count the number of times i had to frog back on this project, but it was worth it. i did end up doing the second armwarmer incorrectly, since i didn't understand how to read the chart backward. (this was my first time reading a chart that wasn't just knit and purl.) i'm definitely a much better (and more careful) knitter after making these.
