Well I got the mark back for the horrific essay I wrote last week, and it wasn’t bad at all. I worked myself into quite a state about it, I think I half expected to get a Z and be told to leave the university grounds immediately. I also started my new job which is unexpectedly lovely, I have a holiday next week, and I got a big box of vintage New Zealand yarn in the mail today. Yay! All good news! I celebrated by weaving in the ends on these
A nice quick project, and a necessarily practical one. The mornings in our house are decidedly frosty, and I need to keep my wrists warm so I can keep those fingers typing! I am reading loads of Victorian pirate novels at the moment, I wanted to name them something piratical, so Mrs Silver it is.
I knitted them up in garter stitch rib, this is meant to be the “right” side, but I really prefer the other side.
They are a cosy mix of Noro something or other, and the Kaiapoi Glen Mist I scooped up a couple of weeks back.
very cute! and your fingers are SO not pudgy
I’m excited for you about all the good things happening in your life these days!
Love your 2 recent FOs. While you’re looking forward to the winter, we’re over here looking forward to the summer (can never quite wrap my head around that…
I would soooo love to have a pattern for those fingerless gloves.
They are gorgeous!
Even a hint or a guide — as to the stitch number used, the pattern used after the grfeen end pieces. And the more general information - what length to knit them, where and how long the thumb hole is.
Thanks,
Janey
Well done on the essay! And love the new wrist-warmers. It’s going to be strange living in L.A. where there is nary a need for things like mittens and wrist-warmers.
