Another First!

I realize I'm late on this trend, but what's new? I L.o.V.e. these new cabled fingerless mittens that I made over break for myself.  They are perfect for wearing around the house on cold winter days. I tend to be freezing all the time in the winter, and this added layer is right up my alley.


I love the cables and the pattern is really easy to knit as well. Knitters, you can find the link to the pattern here. A couple notes...I didn't have the yarn she suggested so I ended up using Red Heart Eco in this charcoal color. I tend to be a looser knitter, so I went down to a size 7 double point needle and they fit perfectly. I followed the rest of the pattern as written. Let me know if you have questions!

It's been a long time since I made something for myself. Our holiday travelling gave me time to do some more creating, so I'll show those to you later this week.

If you look closely at the picture, you will see the magnetic nail polish I got as a gift this Christmas. It's so fun! Paint it on as a solid color, then put a magnet over it and you  have these cool black stripes. I completely recommend it and I'd love to get some for myself in silver too. It's available at Sephora.

  1. I made some of these for my sister (crocheted in black) as a belated Birthday gift. And then I made a set for myself in some variegated yarn (aqua, purple, navy). I'm working on a scarf to go with mine. So pretty!
