I learned a new stitch last month, the daisy stitch (in knitting). It’s easy to do and creates a fun texture that looks flowery if you space the pattern right. There were a few times I came around on the row where I was supposed to skip a stitch and I forgot, which ended up making the pattern look more like a mess of busy stitches than a fun little burst of petals.
Handwarmers are so in season
Pattern was found on the PurlBee (I REALLY need to branch out and use my books!), I have been leaning on the PurlBee for my last few projects. They are so easy to follow and I generally love the layout of stories.
The handwarmers took me about 5 hours total to make, including weaving in all ends. If I used a stockinette or garter stitch, they probably would have gone just a little faster. Shorter projects can be encouraging ways to use up that yarn stash I have been building.
