A Very Berry Unbirthday Armwarmers

Ok, so this is my first written pattern....so bear with me. This can be done in the round, but I suck with circular needles/dpn's so it is seamed.

I don't really pay attention gauge...I used Stitch Nation's Full O' Sheep Yarn in passionfruit...It's amazing.  100% Peruvian Wool. It is so warm.


Co 24 stitches with both skeins. This makes the stitches a little more bulkier...plus it looks really nice.

Bind Offf

For the thumb, simply cast on 10 sts, three rows in basic garter stitch, bind off. seam the thumb and body of the armwarmer. [Make sure they're both turned inside out first.] Sew up the edge, leaving a hole for where you'd like the thumb to be placed. Attach the thumb and weave in any loose threads. Turn inside out and enjoy :D

Oh the Weather outside is frightful...

It truly is, here in freezing Indiana. Although I suppose us here at N3rd Knits are more fortunate than those in let's say...Canada? Poor Canadians :[

Well, me being the frightfully efficient gal I am, finally set up our Etsy account today. However, we only have one item listed at the current moment due to my 'Business partner's' computer being a total spazz. :le sigh:

Anywho. I suppose I shall post more fancy posts later on. I have an armwarmer, a hat, and two elephants to finish.
