“Initially, I was going to make a scarf for my friend’s upcoming birthday. I was on US6s and working a mistake rib. Except I hated the fabric: it wasn’t the same on both sides and it wanted to roll like no body’s business. Plus, I wasn’t sure I had enough yarn to make a scarf.

“While spending this gorgeous afternoon inside watching a movie (sigh) I realized that I was 13 inches in, perfect arm warmer length. I cast off, threw in a seam, and then made another. Bingo. Instant gratification, although they might stay with me instead of being for my friend. These take about a skein and a half of yarn total, each skein is 100 meters.
