Happy Halloween!
I’m at the department today so won’t be wearing a costume. Add a few Halloween hair clips and spider socks to this photo and that’s my ‘dress-up’ for the day!
I made these wristwarmers in between studying just in time for today. I only had one ball of this black yarn so I split it in half and then started! Trying a new (stretchier!) bind-off I used more yarn than I expected so the second warmer has about an inch of some icky dk black yarn double stranded. But, I love them! They’re the “jiffy armwarmers” also available as a ravelry download! I’ve already been asked to make a few for friends.
I am super jealous of your craftiness! Do you have an etsy shop?
Hi Ryan,
Thanks for the compliment!
No, I don’t have an etsy shop- unfortunately, my crafting is done on moments stolen from my academic self.
There are a ton of great tutorials, patterns and directions online that can help you get into whatever craft you’d like- check out some of the links of the side of this blog. Craftster is a great place to go for inspiration on a huge range of crafts and there are tons of talented blogsters out there that have directions.
Good luck diving in!
[…] the winter, I decided I should made a pair of arm warmers. I really like the arm warmers I made in October, but wanted something besides black and didn’t have time to knit a new pair in time. […]
