Pour Moi?


Oui, oui! Emy has suggested, hinted, scolded, ahem, remarked that as I rarely knit for myself, I ought to embark upon such an odyssey. While at the Yarn Swap at Purlescence yesterday, there was some rogue yarn that, in that siren's call that yarn can sometimes have, up and deafeningly screamed in my ear, "Buy me, Woman, and knit yourself some fingerless gloves!" Now, being that I'm the kind of person to instantly snap to attention when talking yarn is involved, I did purchase the yarn. Now, please note, I was only there for the yarn swap. I had no intention walking in, that purchases would be involved (at least that's my story and I'm sticking to it!). I am halfway finished with the Warm Braid Cable Wristwarmers, and here's a pic for your viewing pleasure.

Specs:

Yarn: Bamboozle - Crystal Palace - Color 444 (Rainforest)
Amount of yarn - 2 skeins
Needles: US size #9 circs (magic loop method)
Pattern: Source can be found here

Edited to add: Forgot to mention I made a couple of modifications to the pattern: Because they are wrist warmers and I wanted fingerless gloves, I lengthened them. Instead of a 1" rib on each end, I made it 2" and added one cable repeat in the cable section.

Pour vous, peut-etre!

If I only knew how to make accent marks. They look lovely. Reminds me of some hands around here that could use some. . .

Nice yarn, but will it stop talking now?
