Newest project done! I finished my first knitting project ever... a washcloth...

Not, perhaps, the most complicated of projects, but gives me the confidence to move on to bigger and better things. I've ordered "the knitter's almanac", which should arrive early next week. I think I'll go for a baby surprise jacket first, or a blanket. We will see!

Woot! The second wrist warmer is done! I went back and redid a bit of the first one, refined the pattern.

I'm not sure of the right way to write out a crochet pattern, but here goes:

Chain 48 + 2

turn and DC 31 rows (or more rows if your wrists are wider)

join 10 stitches (to make the tube)

Then DC 19, then join the last 19, tie off

Back to thumb area, start at base of thumb opening

Join 2, then DC 10

turn and DC 10 (back to base of thumb area)

Join 4, then DC 6, turn and join 6

tie it off, turn right side out and wear!
