Wrist Warmers

Veröffentlicht am von Carina

…  it’s (finally) cold enough for wrist warmers!

Don’t get me wrong—I’m definitely not a huge fan of cold weather, but there’s something I really love about knitting wrist warmers. They’re quick to make, so you can finish a pair in no time, and they’re just so much fun to play around with. You can go simple or get creative—add a thumb hole or leave it out, try cables or keep it plain, mix colors or textures. They’re small projects, but somehow so satisfying to make and even more satisfying to wear.

Animal Scarves

Veröffentlicht am von Carina25 Kommentare

Morehouse Farm has some seriously amazing patterns! So far, I’ve made a few of their animal scarves – the alligator, the rat race scarf, and the cat wrap – and I really liked making them. The instructions are really clear, and once you get the hang of their approach to increases and decreases, they’re not too tricky to follow.coloredFor the white one, I came up with my own twist: I added a “belly” by knitting a plain second scarf without the scales, then joined the two halves together with single crochet. It gave the scarf a whole new dimension and made it extra fun to wear.

I made the two cat scarves for my boss’s little girls, and I think they totally loved them. One of them even set up a little spot for her cat on the pillow at bedtime—it was the cutest thing!
