Silly fingers

I have now been knitting a year and decided it was time to attempt fingers, or gloves lol. This is the first time I have made a closed thumb. They are working up bigger than I hoped but with practice....

These will have complete finger and the hood to go over them. We will see. 

I sell so many of these owl wrist warmers it's hard to find the time for anything else. On the up side I have gotten really good at them. :)

My nose took these photos - no lie!

A friend of ours made these wristlets for me last winter and I love them! As a child my mom had a knitter friend and I always admired her creations. For years, I have admired the sock patterns that abound in this frozen tundra I live in, and have wanted to learn to knit them. Amanda, the maker of these colorful hand warmers, and that desire to make socks, inspired me to try my hand at knitting.



This is where I'm at so far.  I made this simple pair.  I'll just keep clicking my needles and working my way down to the smaller yarns until I get there.

Btw, how do you take a photo of both your hands with your iPhone?  I sat the phone on a box, placed a stapler on the edge to keep it from falling off, then stood on a chair and poked the screen with my nose to make the camer click, lol.
