xmas knitting
i finished the first armwarmer for a pair i'm making for a xmas give. i'm using wool-ease thick n quick in a brown/black combo. i really like how it came out, although it might be a bit big. luckily, i'll only have to unseam it, undo the bind off, frog a few rows, re-bind off, and re-seam. not too bad, really, since there are only 20 stitches per row.
i didn't use a pattern, though. i sort of made up my own combination of the armwarmer patter from weekend knitting and a free pattern from lion brand that was in my vogue knitting holiday 2005 issue. it worked pretty well.
i don't think i'll have any problems finishing this pair up by tomorrow, if not tonight. wish me luck!
::update
on the loooooong ride home tonight, i ended up starting and finishing the second armwarmer. yay for having another xmas gift done. now, i just need to figure out what i want to work on tomorrow.
