FO Friday: Don't ever work with (or around) kids!


I was all ready to take some webcam action pictures of the finished armwarmers, when Little Miss appeared - still in her pyjamas, singing Rolling in The Deep... and dancing. Of course that put an end to any photos, but I did get some cuddles and it would seem that the armwarmers live up to their name - they are indeed 'Cwtchy' (snuggly). 
 

So this is the best I can offer you today *sigh*  

THE DETAILS
Pattern: Cwtchy Cable Armwarmers (available as a free download)
Yarn: Rowan Creative Focus 1 x 100g  Needles: 4mm DPNs
 Pin It
They turned out exactly as I hoped so I'm really pleased with them and it's another thing off my Year of Projects list which also feels great. So it's a big thumbs up. And now I'm wondering what to cast on next! I'd intended to start on Emma Fassio's Chele once these were done, and have the yarn ready, but after buying several knitted things including a lovely knitted top yesterday (I know, I know - craziness but I just couldn't resist it!) I have the urge to make something similar to that in another colour... 
We're heading off to visit some family now, so I'll wish you all a wonderful weekend
xxxx


PS. Today I'm linking in with Tami and also Natural Suburbia's Creative Friday.

  14. I like the arm warmers but its your cute daughter that gets my attention. She's lovely. It seems ages since my 3 daughters were that age and gave wonderful kisses and hugs. Could never get any crafts done when they were around. My advice is savior these moments time flies. Mind you might get grandchildren who give great hugs and kisses. Even through the phone or on the answering machine. I have never deleted their little voices. Please be careful though with the knitting needles as one of my girls was curious and when distracted by the baby picked up one of them and poked a whole in here gum and the bled like mad. Another reason not to craft with them around. Keep creating and blogging. Thank you, M
