THIS TIME it's the pattern based on the adaptation of the Irish Hiking Scarf, only this is for the matching wristwarmers. The pattern is here. I'm not the best sewer-upper... One thumb hole is a stitch or two tighter than the other. E kindly modeled them for me... Well, I said, 'here, try these on'... then 'oh wait, c'mere so I can take a picture' :)
Mom will probably temporarily steal them from me when she comes to visit next week because no doubt she will be freezing since it's probably no less than 80 degrees in Waikiki.... psssssshhhhh whatever MOM.
I'm currently working on another basic cable beanie in the same color as the wristwarmers.. I would also like to make a thinner version of the irish hiking scarf.
Something that I've also been working on is a cable clutch. This is a fancy smanshy version of it.
I found that after I found THIS. I made mine one cable-length longer but am debating on whether or not I want to take out that last cable. I found two sizes of dowels locally for less than 50 cents. YAY. I have sandpaper and a mini saw... I'm just afraid now of ruining a pencil sharpener.. I'm afraid that it wont work... Anyay, I'm sure I'll figure it out. I made the bag out of LB wool ease thick & quick that I had in my stash from last yr or the yr before from when I first learned how to knit.
At first I found some red fabric that I thought may work... but THEN I found this purple paisley fabric for less than a dollar as well as some ribbon just as cheap @ Joann's.
I loathe sewing things so I think that's why this hasn't been finished yet. Also, I could not find magnetic snaps ANYWHERE locally. Maybe I'm subconsciously waiting for a sewing machine for christmas before I finish this w/ the lining. Plus, I need to go to the dollar store to get some glue sticks for my hot glue gun for the ends of the 'handles'...
BTW.. the seam job on this bad boy came out very neat. I should be glad for that at least.
