I have been away from my needles for too long. I haven't picked them up in weeks as I have been so busy with my sewing. I just finished this bag on Sunday. But I have caught the knitting bug again. I was watching Knitty Gritty the other day and noticed that the featured designer was wearing this godawful fuzzy thing on her finger and while it was definately not my style it inspired me to make these rings.
These are so quick and easy to make, I even made 1 for my little sis. By the time I had finished I was on a roll so I started on a Christmas project. I make all of my gifts so I have to get an early start. This is my first gift this year. I'm not really sure who they're for yet.
I bought this gorgeous varigated yarn from fellow Etsy seller JLJulia. She sells such beautiful yarn and has really great prices. The pattern I got from 1 of my 2 favorite knitting book 101 Designer One-Skein Wonders. I use it and the first book One-Skein Wonders so much. I'm the type of person that buys the yarn first then decides on a project. So these books are perfect for all those loose skeins I have lying around. If you are a knitter you should definately check these out.
I think those little rings are so cute. Like little leg warmers for your knuckles! And your handbags are darling too. You do such a nice job!

I feel the same way, I haven't knitted in weeks now because I have been sewing so much for my shop. I think you have inspired me to finally finish one of my knitting projects today ;o)Those finger things are too cute, not sure the purpose but cute.
