Braided Pulse Warmers

Finished Pulse Warmers

Well it has been a long time and so it should come as no surprise that I completed my Braided Pulse Warmers.    In fact I finished them on the 16th of last month so a while ago.  Today I found a spot of sun and had my kid take pictures.  As you may be able to tell the pulse warmer goes up a good bit on my forearm.  The Braid is just at my wrist juncture.  It was a fun easy knit taking only a few days to complete although I spread this out.  I actually was worried about running out of my main color since I was using remnants.  I ended up with loads of yarn.  Okay not really:

Yarn Chicken…

I am currently working on a pair of socks for myself.  I came across a singleton while unpacking boxes so decided to finish up the pair.  As usual I left no notes for myself about what I was doing in regards to cast on, gusset stitches picked up and other niceties.  Thankfully, I had my handy dandy pins there counting rows and my needles were stuck in ball of yarn.  As long as my tension didn’t go too off since last winter we should be fine.  Lichen Ribbed Socks from Knitting Vintage Socks.  I have made this particular pattern at least twice that I can recall.  This version is being made in gray alpaca blend which means silky and super warm.  I hope to be finished with those this weekend so am mulling over knitting options.

yarny days and knitterly evenings to you all
