Simple Knits

I used to think straight up knitting was boring and ugly. Too simple. I was a bit of a snob; if one can be a knitting snob. Sometimes simple is best. This is part of a glove set I made for myself recently - 

It came out gorgeous - made with 100% Peruvian Highland Wool. I got lucky with this skein, half price! The flecks of red in the brown is to die for. They are perfect for typing on the computer in the winter. I've already gotten good use out of them as my office has no heater. To my great disapproval. It only started to warm up in the last hour of the day. I'd better get used to it.

So although cables can be beautiful, so can garter stitch. In its own simple way.

Lazy Sunday

After a late night last night at an early Halloween party, this girl is planning to watch Harry Potter all day and knit some scarves. Need to get more things into the the shop! Winter is coming. Must knit faster.

This will likely be a neck warmer with buttons. Cause buttons are cute. I wanted to make a hat with this colour but my knitting needles haven't come in with the correct size yet. Soon. 

This scarf is fairly simple - 2 rows repeated til the end. I already had to frog a few rows cause I wasn't paying attention to it. Was too into The Half Blood Prince. Is my Harry Potter obsession unhealthy? Me thinks not. I own a time turner. Yes. Enjoy your Sundays!
