My First Projects for 2006


I recently finished the Hurry Up Spring Armwarmers from Stitch 'N Bitch Nation.  It was my first time using a chart and making a gusset (!) and overall things went really well.  Actually, the left armwarmer is a few rows too long and the thumb is somewhat wonky seeing as how I knit the gusset on the wrong side so it does not match the left.  I'm not too concerned.  I am going to look into ripping back a few rows from the top though.  Those extra rows that hide my pinky are irritating.  I really love the bright, fun colors in the Noro Kureyon though. 
This is just a simple ribbed hat based on HotHead from SnB made with the leftover Noro yarn.  It's a little short, but it will be ok.  I think it complements the armwarmers pretty well.
