Just Trying To Make The World A Warmer Place

In my attempt to make the world a warmer place, I am making everyone wrist warmers. Okay, I am not trying to make the world a warmer place, everyone seems to be requesting wrist warmers since they saw mine.

I just used some worsted weight I had and double stranded 2 different colors with size 11's. I ribbed for about an inch or so then I did stockinette for about 2-3 inches and I finished with another inch or so of ribbing. Malachy sat at my feet and watched my progress. As I finished each wrist warmer he put it on and waited for the second. Now when we walk Tess at night we can stay nice and warm.

This scarf I knit using some lavender scented yarn. It was so relaxing to knit with the lavender. I like the weight of the yarn and the little fringes I left as I changed yarns. They are the same colorway, but one is nubby.

They Had Me At Anthropologie

I love Anthropologie stores, so when I was surfing Ravelry and found this pattern Anthropologie-Inspired Capelet, I knew it would be next on my needles. It knit up so fast and it is oh so cute. I knit it with two strands of Rowan Felted Tweed on size 9 needles. I started it on Monday night and Tuesday morning I was wearing it to work.....yes, that's how quick and easy it was.

Then last night I decided to cast on for some wristers. You know, it is a little chilly at night when I walk the dog, so I wanted something to keep my hands warm. So I knit these last night.



It is a pattern from Cosey's book, Knit One, Embellish Too. I just used the yarn I had left from the capelet and some yarn in my stash on size 10's. I only needed to cast on 16 stitches for my hands.

How adorable is this coffee cup cozy. I knit in moss stitch with some chunky Knitpicks wool that I also had in my stash on, I think, size 8 needles. I just love how cute it looks with the buttons. (Here is the great link: Coffee Cup Cozy)



This morning I cast on again.....I will show you just what that is soon. I was thinking of Anthropologie.....

Until next time: Knit-Laugh-Enjoy!
