so i finished my first pair of knitted hand/wrist warmers today. small step for humankind, but a huge leap for me. tried to do something with a pattern this time & what could be better than to start off with the classic venus/feminist symbol?
it might not be the most neat knitting in the world, but i'm still learning... i found the pattern for the symbol at subversive knitting & then just sort of made the rest up. it was pretty easy & fast, good for a newbie like me. if i could, i would give you the pattern here but i actually don't know how to write out knitting patterns... they start with six rows knit 2, purl 2 (bottom) & end with four rows of the same, otherwise it's just plain knitting with two different colors & then sewing the two sides together & leaving a whole for the thumb. when you put them on it looks something like this (yes, it is very tricky to photograph your own hands):

thanks! i made the header a while ago, had it up for a couple of days then changed it again... but yesterday i realized that i really liked it & changed back.
fantastisk stickning! och jag gillar citatet på ditt sista broderi.
Sypersnygga! Den symbolen piggar upp det mesta :)
