Wrists and Butter*

This is what happens when I don't post every time I plan to. I end up with pictures that should be on two separate posts all smushed (that should be a word) into one post. So bear with me, this might get confusing. 

A couple weeks ago, I started these Voodoo wrist warmers from Knitty. Once I started my mom's scarves, I put it in a drawer and ignored it (and never told you guys about it), but I picked it up on Wednesday afternoon and ended up finishing it that night.


Here it is on:


Just for the record, the awkward lump is my watch, not part of my arm (or the wrist warmer). Then yesterday, I started the second one:


which I finished a few hours ago. It was a little harder to get a good picture of this one:


because I'm stupid and I felt like it had to go on the other arm (which is my dominant arm). And here they are together:


Yes, the top one is a lot shorter than the bottom. Yes, it's extremely annoying. No, I'm not really sure how it happened, especially seeing as I measured them both the same way.

*Just a note about the title. I was thinking about how they make my wrists warm, and then I don't actually remember what I was thinking, but I do remember it had something to do with bread and butter. Oh! Maybe it was about making my wrists toasty, and then I thought about toast? I don't know. But I do know that it made sense when I wrote it.

Fingerless Glove Roundup

Since all I've really done since yesterday is work on the sequin skirt (I fixed the system), I decided to do a little fingerless glove pattern roundup. Yes, I think that's perfectly normal, no, I'm not worried. :)

-Lithuanian Wristers, from the Deep Fall 2011 issue of Knitty.
-Knucks, from the Summer 2006 issue of Knitty.
-The Political Process, from the First Fall 2012 (that's right now!) issue of Knittyspin.
-Voodoo Wrist Warmers, from the Winter 2002 issue of Knitty.
-Portlander Mitts, from the First Fall 2012 issue of Knitty.
-The LLP Fingerless Mittens I posted yesterday
-The music gloves I posted a few months ago

Wow. I had all these patterns bookmarked. That's just weird! Anyway, I have the stuff I need for the Lithuanian Wristers, so I think they might be my first project. Speaking of which, I just found out that I'm going to a baseball game on Saturday (yeah, I'm thrilled too) and I decided that I want to have a Stitch n' Pitch of one. There's no way I'm taking any of the projects on the To Do To Start list, so I think I'm going to have to start something new. The LW won't work (I don't think a baseball stadium is the best place to learn how to use beads), so I need something simple and awesome. I'm going to be doing some looking this week, to find the perfect project!
