There is a Head Hands and Feet Skein Along about to begin in the Skein Ravelry group here. I finally decided on using a merino cashmere fingering yarn in the colourway solar and have it all ready to go. I am going to knit my first pair of hand warmers (one of my 2012 knitting goals!). What are some of your knitting goals and challenges for 2012? As a relatively new knitter I have been thinking hard about mine and have been taking an interest in those set by others. So far I have decided that I would like to knit hand warmers, mittens and socks. Try new techniques such as magic loops and new cast on and off methods as well as give continental another go (it hurt my wrists!) and improve my skills from last year.

I love this skein of yarn. Where can I get this yarn. It is gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteHI Sylvia, It is a beautiful yarn from Skein which you can find at http://www.skeinyarn.com/
ReplyDeleteThe colourway in the photo was a limited colourway for the last sock club but there are plenty of other tempting colourways the Kristen creates
My project for 2012 is to knit one swatch a week, so i can improve my skills and learn new stitches! :) it's going well so far! I would like to knit a vest this year, and maybe also another pair of socks. :)
ReplyDeleteThis yarn is gorgeous, by the way!! Can't wait to see your hand warmers!
Hi Anna
ReplyDeleteGorgeous colours in this skein. I would like to crochet some wrist warmers this year. I'm not a very good knitter, but I have a burning yearning to knit socks (may have to enlist the help of my very talented knitting friend).
