Knitting Frenzy
Okay, so Alice and I have been hitting the idea back and forth like a never-ending game of ping pong about how we needed to get together and knit - and then there was the other conversation about doing a Harry Potter marathon since I've seen only a few of the movies in their entirety and another one in bits and pieces. Well, yesterday was devoted to knitting - and Harry Potter. Yup.
My goal for a while has been to knit a pair of fingerless gloves. I want a pair. I want to make a pair. So after lots of digging around, Alice found this pair of wristies that were inspired by Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-Long Blog. They used to be up on Ravelry and on Knerdy Knitting, but the site went down or expired. Through some very impressive creative thinking on a friend of ours, we discovered that we could access the pattern through google's chache. So, if you're interested, h e r e is a link to that pattern.
This morning I started experimenting with an idea I hatched for a pattern for fingerless gloves, so I'll have to report back on how that's working, but later - because I need to do a lot of writing since I took yesterday off to watch Harry Potter and knit.

About Me
- Cid
- Grew up traveling to rodeos with my parents. I've gone across the world thanks to my gypsie feet. I feel sometimes like I've done everything & nothing. I've played roller derby, traveled parts of the world, have four degrees. I've done some things most people will never do in their lives & still I want to do more. I want to work with orphans & teenagers again. I'm a Christian. I have a lot of tattoos. I like art therefore I want to be art. I love people. I started writing years ago when I was a kid. I think at the time it was an outlet for me; I found escape in my word & the worlds I created. Eventually I just started to like creating stuff & that's when I started sharing it with other people. Now I think I write every day. I want to do NaNoWrMo this year. I'm also learning how to knit. I think I'm on my way to being an eccentric old woman who runs around the world doing silly cazy things and knitting while she does them. Be on your guard I have knitting needles!

I still really love the colors of your wristies. I want to go get that purple and knit it up with a dark, hunter green.
And I'm sorry you were the unfortunate victim of pooling in your self-stripe yarn. Not all self-stripe yarn is bad! Promise!
Yesterday was tons of fun. Next time we'll do LOTR: Extended Versions.
I love the color choices! Very cute. Seeing stuff like this makes me wish I was crafty instead of clutzy.
:-)
@Alice - yeah, that Passion color would look awesome with a dark green! See, I saw that green-blue teal color and fell in love with that and needed something to go with it. I need to get more appropriate buttons to finish that wristie and then start the second one. *sigh* I also really wanna watch the last HP movie we didn't get to....
@Erinn - I'm seriously not that good. Alice is an awesome, knitty-gifted person. Me? Not so much. I want to be, and my stuff is usually functional, but not very finished or pretty looking if you examine the nuances. Just try it!
