Which brings us to today, and the giant pile of yarn that my husband has quite rightfully been bugging me to either use or get rid of. I had been puttering around on Pinterest and some of the other blogs on blogspot, generally in awe of everyone else's crafting abilities. (Have you seen some of that stuff?!?) Anyway, I finally decided either I could spend the rest of my life crocheting scarves and wishing I could make something more interesting, or I could muddle through and experiment a bit. I mean, it's yarn I'm working with here, not gold. It's not like I can't rip the whole thing apart and start over again.
After some more puttering on Pinterest, I decided to make wrist warmers. I figured I might as well start with Lowly - she's the smallest, and if I was going to have to redo the thing eight times, I'd rather do it on a small scale. Besides, they looked relatively easy, and I was tired of going on a hunt for the mitten she had flung off somewhere in the car so she could wiggle her fingers. This way her hands would be relatively warm, and I would look less like the mildly unorganized mother that I am.
The great thing about crocheting for a baby is that they can't tell you your work looks hideous. The not so great thing is that they won't stay still long enough for you to measure anything, so I had to sort of eyeball the sizing. Still, I think they're rather cute...
WeeBee apparently agrees, because he wants me to make a pair for him next. So more pictures to follow!
Make a pair for your mailman. Anyone who works outdoors and needs to use their fingers(like a mailman has to sort the mail) will like these in the cold weather!
ReplyDeleteShe might wear them. When it is cold around here they drive from house to house and seem to deliver less mail.

When the revolving door of postal employees in my neighborhood actually start delivering all my mail, I'll consider it.
