Wristbands, Oh the Wristbands


I thought it would be "fun" to knit up some wristbands for my daughters' softball teams. Oh How "fun" it was. There are 13 players per team, 2 teams; you do the math. And yes I made enough for all of them plus a couple extra. It's a cute pattern though: Band Cuffs by Star Athena. And I had all yarn I needed except the maroon. For the maroon and white I did substitute TLC Essentials and Red Heart Super Saver because I couldn't find a maroon cotton. Let's just hope the players like them.
But now nothing is inspiring me to knit. I need a project. Any suggestions?

Knit for Me?


So I got a few replies to my last entry wondering what I knit for myself. Well the answer is absolutely nothing. I will admit that I don't much knit for me. I either haven't had luck with fit or I just don't finish the items because it seems so much more gratifying to knit for others. I know, I know, get over it already right? Well at least someone knits for me. My most fabulous friend KnitVicious knit me up these great glovelettes with the most wonderful yarn (and she gave me what was left so I could attempt socks or glovelettes...look out size 2 needles here I come). I must say she knows me all too well and when I said I didn't want to see another pair of fingerless gloves I only meant on needles. And don't miss the other fantastic item she got for me, my very own coffee sleeve, which doubles as a wrist cuff when not on my coffee and came with a matching little wrislet bag to carry my necessities. With a friend like her who needs to knit for themselves.
