Finally, I am at liberty to show photos of the ArmWarmers I designed and knit for my dear (and gracious!) friend Joyce!
There is a lace pattern panel on top of the arm with shaping on the underside -- this structure should help it stay in place. There is a thumb hole in the ribbing at the hand/wrist -- or one could roll the ribbing down for a cuff, making the piece into a more conventional sleeve. It is knit of Madelinetosh Tosh Vintage in worsted weight. I am tempted with making a pair for myself -- to wear with my capelets & q'mitls (maybe in light blue...). I am also toying with writing up the pattern and making it available -- in which case I will need a clever name for the piece! Suggestions?
Also, photos of Owen's sock (now that I have conquered the size issue -- in that I made the first one too small, I am trundling away at the 2nd one).
The locking markers on the toes are not ornaments! I decided not to kitchner the toes until I was sure of the length. Although, why not ornament the toes of infant socks?! It is not like they are going to be wearing shoes or walking!
Ohhh, pretty baby!!
