FO: Herringbone Wristwarmers

Finally an FO for you and for me!

Pattern: Herringbone Slouch by CanarySancturay
Yarn: Mission Falls 136 Superwash Merino
1 ball each of Charcoal and Light Gray
Needles: US3 Magic Loop

This is a great pattern, it is easy to read, knit and remember! I have always found herringbone very appealing so when I saw this pattern I knew I had to make a pair for myself.

I have such a great job and get to knit at work and worked on this project often. This wonderful pattern has inspired a lot of my co-workers to knit and I have taught them in the hopes that one day they will make them! Come on.. that's pretty awesome right?? A pattern that makes people want to learn knitting! I think that's freaking sweeeet! Good Job Canary!! PROPS TO YOU!



Mods: Like a said this pattern was well written so I didn't make much mods. I just didn't knit as long as the pattern calls for because I have short arms. I did change the thumb holes. All I did was knit with waste yarn for 8 sts and than CO and did 1x1 rib for 4 rows. I haven't blocked them yet and now sure if I will.. They seem to always be around my hands.. so hard to block with them on... lol

OH another great thing about this pattern is it only requires one ball of each colour and I have tons of the light gray left!

I love them!! That herringbone pattern looks so chic as armwarmers, I think I might have to make myself a pair for the fall! Great job.
