Hand Knit Warmth

after a snowy weekend

the rain came yesterday and our grass is green again

I kind of get confused with this weather, but after all it is still cold

so I started a quick, warm, in between project

~ when am I ever going to stop with starting new projects?! ~


hand warmers for a dear friend

I came across this free pattern on Pinterest and adjusted it to my ideas

I don't have small needles to knit around in once, so I made the pattern flat and sewed it together afterwards

the pattern is from Blue Sky Alpacas 

to my idea they have a terrific yarn collection ~ natural and in perfect yummy color ranges


I guess I am in too short of a time span to learn how to add a thumb part

so I left that out

or, it could be that I am too lazy for that...


any way

the left hand is finished!

pretty fast and easy on needles size 6


I treat myself with a cup of tea 

and get back to knitting the right hand version of this hand warmer

~

my interpretation of the pattern seems pretty straight forward

but let me know if there is enough interest, I might write out and share my version of this pattern with you

  9. Beautiful. This winter is perfect for hand warmers and who needs a thumb anyway ... it's easier to hold a hot chocolate without one :)

  10. Adore those toasty handwarmers! The yarn looks so yummy and soft! The color is wonderful, especially done up in the cable. Very clever, changing the pattern a bit to make it work for you.
    Happy crafting,
    Gerri

  11. Lovely gift. I really need to learn how to knit. A project for 2012 for sure... Love this cable wrist warmer. I want the pattern if no one else wants it. And next week I get myself some needles and get to it.
