cabled wristwarmers

i have had a pretty informative month! next up, i'm aiming for a sweater and a bramble-stitch shawl, although i have been sorely tempted by all the pretty patterns i have seen on this forum!

Holy COW! Stunning work!

Everything looks great! I haven't tried cables yet, but I'm hoping to soon.

Those look fantastic! I love working cables...they're especially fun! :D And wow, its in your first month of knitting?!?!

Wow! I am IMPRESSED!!!!!

:heart: LOVE :heart: the scarf!!!!

You're are doing fantastic! :cheering:

Wow! That's awesome! I LOVE the cabled wristwarmers. Can you share the pattern and what type of yarn you used? It looks very soft and comfy!

Great Job!!

Wow! I've been knitting for like 2 yrs and I still haven't tryed cables. Great job~! :cheering:

WOW!! Awesome job! Those wrist warmers are on my to-do list -- LOVE the color! What yarn did you use?

:cheering: :cheering: :cheering: Very sucessful first month - congratulations!!!! Everything looks wonderful!

thanks, everyone - it has been a learning experience for me, and i am looking forward to my next month of knitting...

the cabled wristwarmers were knit with cascade yarns venezia merino silk, 2 balls (which i got for half price at my lys!) - the pattern is from 'the knitter's bible knitted accessories' - i probably shouldn't post it publicly, but if you want it, PM me and i can email it to you...

WOW all that from your 1st month :shock: :thud: Everything looks great :cheering: :cheering: I :heart: :heart: the kittyville hat.

Holy cow you rock!

I have been knitting for over a year and still haven't tried to learn how to cable :teehee:

Beautiful work! I love your scarf :cheering: :cheering:

Impressive! :passedout:

Woah! Nice work! And so much in just one month!!!!!!!! Where did you get the pattern for the hand warmers? I think I've seen them before and I'd like to find it again.

the pattern, like i said, came from 'the knitter's bible: knitted accessories'. i actually love this book - it has some fantastic patterns, and the instructions are very detailed, so a beginner like me can follow them easily.

This is the one I thought of: http://knitty.com/ISSUEsummer06/PATTfetching.html

I USED to think I was bright and a fast learner when it came to knitting

i am WRONG
I am humbled
:notworthy:

Dang, Bellium! You're good.

i started off simple...

Wow!!!! :passedout: If that's simple, I can't wait to see your "complicated!"

EXCELLENT JOB!!! :cheering:

Dang, I feel so behind! Awesome projects. Love the handwarmers, very fun.
