Hurry Up Spring Armwarmers



Pattern - Hurry Up Spring Armwarmers from Stitch 'n' Bitch Nation
Yarn - Malabrigo in Pagoda
Needles - First Susan Bates Size 7 dpsn. I couldn't deal with metal, so I switched to Crystal Palace Bamboo Size 7 dpns
Modifications - Yarn Substitute
Random Commentary: I feel like it took forever to finish these babies. I think I knit and frogged half of the first armwarmer four times before I finally mastered the chart. This was my first time reading a chart and I was reading it from left to right. How embarrassing, huh? I also started with metal dpns and the yarn kept slipping off. I normally stick to bamboo, but my LYS was all out so I chose the second best. Also, the Malabrigo was amazing for this project. I loved seeing the colors form and the yarn is amazingly soft.
Funny Side Note : I never noticed the branch and leaf pattern despite the pattern title and staring at them while knitting. But when my husband took one look at them, he noticed right a way. A bit of an Einstein moment for me. I like them even better now, though:)
