  some objects of the finished variety
thought i'd post a couple of photos. i finished these a while ago but haven't done the photo-documentation thing.

* VOO-DOO *

here are the old stand-by wrist warmers that most of us knitty fans have lying around somewhere. i wear them often, so they're already quite pilly... the look of love, right?




pattern: knitty.com
materials: tahki 'donegal tweed.' color: dijon
needles: US 6 dpn's

* Manos Scarf *

This is a scarf I made for my girlfriend last winter. i finally took some pics of it. its made with manos in a GREAT color. its very long for multiple neck wraps. one of my more favorite scarves i have done



pattern: my own. knit in 1x1 ribbing so it is reversible and nice and thick. the thick-and-thin quality of the wool adds a great subtle texture. i'm really into this scarf. i might make one for myself in a different color.

materials: manos del uruguay. 2 skeins
needles: US 10.5


* Malabrigo BULKY cap *

this IS a finished object ... just not in the photo. just thought i'd toss it in for good measure. the bulky malabrigo takes softness to another level! i'm obsessed with this brand if you can't tell.

pattern: my own

materials: malabrigo bulky merino. color: pearl

needles: US9 29" circulars using the magic loop method

 
Comments:

The wrist warmer looks good. I haven't tackled that...or socks. Something about knitting in the round that small...I dunnno.
Your Manos scarf in nice. When I knitted with it, the yarn was so irregular. Your stitches look so even. Did you knit it in the round or flat? It has a good thickness to it.

Your manos scarf looks really nice.. I have 2 skeins of manos just waiting for the right pattern. Perhaps this could be it!

wrist warmers are great for the office! my pair are also quite pilly from wearing them around all the time. why do they always keep offices in nyc so darn cold during the winter anyway?!
