Japanese Me

I spent yesterday finishing up some nearly done projects and taking pictures of my latest knitting.  Yea knitting!

Armwarmers!  [project rav link] These are called Toast by Leslie Friend [pattern rav link] and are nothing but a stockinette tube.  The original instructions don’t have any shaping but I started a little smaller at the wrists and increased a few stitches at the forearm because I can’t leave a good pattern well enough alone.  :P  I wear these every day now – I love that I can have my fingers out for train pass grabbing or more-or-less covered when I’m walking.

I call these Shipwrecked [rav link] and they’re just what they look like – striped socks.  The Knit Picks Felici yarn is really soft and wears okay so I think I’ll be getting some use out of these.

And here’s something that’s waiting for a block:

I should get to that.
