Selfish knitting!
I have finished my Rose’s Wristwarmers! It’s a lovely Dr. Who-inspired pattern with CABLES. I love cables. Look how pretty and dainty they are! The criss-cross diamond cables are filled in with a seed stitch and the sides are cable six, to the front. I know that people have reversed one of the cable sets to make the gloves symmetrical, but I figured that it didn’t matter too much to me.
I used Malabrigo’s Silky Merino in Velvet Grapes. It is a lovely silk-merino blend and I can’t say enough about my love of Malabrigo.
I started to panic around the last inch of the second glove, I was convinced that I would not have enough yarn to finish the inch and then put the two thumbs on. I think I have about 5 yards left, I just barely made it. I would have been super unhappy if I had to buy an entire skein just for a few yards out of it, but! I didn’t have to and all is right in the world.
Also, the yarn pooled. I like the effect on these. It is not the same on both gloves, the first has more of a spiral pooling of the lavender tones and the second has a spiral as well, just not as uniform.
They are done for me to wear in Michigan! Now I just need to finish the Pointyful Scarf…
