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!
