The knitting projects begin!

GRedphoenix's first knitting project:
Leg warmers (Project from Last Minute Gifts by Joelle Hoverson and Anna Williams. It will now be known as Last Minute or LMG)
Silvery gray yarn
Circular needles: 5.5
Yarn size 4
Started: Wednesday, 17 of October 2007

I've once knitted a pair of leg warmers last year, but that was only because my mom requested for one as her old ones lost their elasticity.

I've decided to knit up a pair of because I felt that the weather's been getting really chilly here in foggy 'ol San Francisco, especially when cycling to school in shorts.

Unfortunately, much of my wardrobe is composed of jeans and shorts. Only a few of them are sweats, but they can sometimes get too hot and uncomfortable, especially when the weather gets quite finiky (I swear I don't know how I got a pair of bubblegum-pink sweats-- too bright for my taste.) and I don't have much shorts that goes past the knees. Now if only I have more of those nice loose pants... I've already attempted to cycle in long-sleeved jeans, especially the soft-clothed version of them, but unfortunately, they don't allow much comfort for movement.

I'm sure some of you fellow cyclists know this fact.


Second Project:
Wrist/hand warmers (Project from LMG)
Silvery gray yarn
Yarn size 4
Date started: To be determined

I've made several of these pairs last summer (Summer '06), one for myself, and two others for friends, one to not only give as thanks for the ride to Zephyr Point in Lake Tahoe to but also as a farewell present because she was moving from SF to her daughter's place in Oregon by the end of that summer. The other one was for her month-early birthday present. I gave both these warmers at the end of our summer music camp in July that summer, especially to the birthday girl before we were able to see other in school again.

I'm making another pair of warmers for myself because I can't seem to find my old pair. I really do hate it when my fingers freeze up when I attempt a scale (or a run) on my violin (or a piano, or a cello).

Now where did that lavendar pair go? Hm, it needs some repairs anyway.
