i know...i know... this is a goofy modely pose, but we were in a HUGE hurry to get a few pictures and my smile was all goofy in every single one. this was the solution. plus my husband thought i looked hot...so there!
on to the knitting! i made these wrist warmer's for Jess' birthday and i LOVE how they turned out.
I continue to struggle with knitting in the round on dpns and i also bound off too tightly, but luckily this yarn is very forgiving and blocked up nicely. i did have to go back on a few spots and reinforce the stitch because it was too big, but mostly it was just fine.
this is the nicest yarn i have ever knit with and i LOVE it. it is really, REALLY soft. too bad i can't afford it for everything i make!
gotta have one in-progress shot...

Oh so pretty! I love that color grey - it's perfect for fall.
perfect!
Once you start using nice yarn it's hard to go back...
Those are beautiful and look so warm. I'm off to check out that pattern...
Uhhh... you are SO WICKED HOT in that first picture! I just had to say it. I'll creep back to Our Little Life now...
they look great! I hate double points too, so i found really small circular needles, about 8 inches long. you can knit in the round without double points, and it is great!
