Stressful few days and little knitted hand warmers.
It's been a stressful few days as Tom has been in hospital and despite the fact that stress makes me stitch this didn't really. Not until yesterday anyway. I went to visit for the afternoon and sat with Tom watching tv and knitting, I almost forgot where we were which for me and my phobia of hospitals was very impressive. I was knitting my first little "commission" of sorts, a little pair of hand warmers for a colleagues grand daughter who is seven. I got Tom home today and it was nice to have a little knit now that the stress has subsided a little and low and behold I finished them! I think they're a little bit lovely. Also, they are completely knitted in exactly the right way, I did not go through the back of the stitch or pearl backwards once!

These are beautiful! And the stitching is perfect. Have you blocked them?!
ReplyDeleteHope you and Tom are both feeling a bit better.
I haven't blocked them, I'm not entirely sure how to do that to be honest.
ReplyDeleteThanks, loads better now he's home. :-)

It's dead simple to block. The easiest way is to soak them in warmish water and hair condition for a good half and hour to an hour, rinse out the hair conditioner and then lay flat do dry. I only asked because it's so neat that it looks like you've already done it. You should be really proud!
