Some knitting, and some, well, probably mostly knitting

I still don’t really understand the point of wrist warmers, but I couldn’t really find another project for this yarn, and I only had two skeins. These used up almost one. I figured I could always gift them since I don’t get the point, but when I was almost done with the second one, I noticed I’d messed up the pattern on the first one. So now I don’t know what to do with them, because I don’t like the yarn or the pattern enough to unravel half the first one and re-do it, but I don’t want to give away something I screwed up.

It’s not really visible, but I managed to hold the stitches in front of instead of behind the piece in four of the places where the cables cross, so the over-under-over-under effect is more like under-over-over-over and over-under-under-over :p So that sucks. But like I said, not enough for me to re-do them. I think. I wish I knew what to do with these, I don’t like having stuff lying around that I’ll never use. But at least that’s better than having something half-finished lying around, so I’m glad I finished them.

• Pattern: Fingerless gloves / Stulpen
• Yarn: DROPS Silke-Tweed
• Colorway: Red (23)
• Needle: 2.5mm
• Yarn amount: 44 grams
• Modifications: Knit the inside of the hand in stockinette stitch, cause I figured having ribbing inside the hand would be annoying as hell. Started out with 30 stitches in stockinette, decreased to 22 after 20 rounds. Started pattern after 30. Did my own finish, decreased to 20 stitches on the inside for the last three rounds where I did 2×2 rib all around.

Oh, and I accidentally started a new sweater. Hm. I don’t have enough yarn, and I wasn’t going to start this until next winter because I’m hoping to lose some weight, but I suppose I could always knit a new one. And this will most likely be a slightly experimental Marius sweater, so it could be nice to find out what works and doesn’t, I guess.
