bluejeans07Because I'm insane, I thought that I could knit a few Christmas gifts this year... and it's turned into almost a week of frantic knitting and carrying the balls of yarn and needles around with me wherever I go to sneak in a few stitches here and there. Strangely, all of the gifts I'm knitting are for guy friends or are in my family, so the colors are really boring: grays, blues, blacks, reds. Most of them are solid colors although I've managed to put stripes in here and there on some pieces...
But because of all this, I've gotten a lot better at knitting! I now can knit with double pointed needles, I'm more aware of needle sizes and what they do, and I now know how to do pattern things!
This is my favorite thing I have knitted, a pair of Batman fingerless gloves! Sorry that the image quality isn't so great, I took the pic with my phone before I gave the gloves as a gift, but the gloves themselves came out pretty well and I'm ridiculously proud of these. XD
I can't wait to be done with all the really boring knitting I'm doing now so I can finally knit some FUN things for myself. I want to make myself a pair of Wonder Woman fingerless gloves and I'm so ridiculously excited for these, it's kind of stupid. XD It's also inspired me thinking about how fingerless gloves would look like for various superheroes in the JL. But I only need one pair of fingerless gloves, right?
Also... I want to finally knit a dalek. I think I finally have the skills to make one! I think it'll be a Wonder Dalek, done in Wonder Woman colors... because I'm just like that. xD

Date: 2010-12-23 04:56 am (UTC)I learned how to knit in high school when a bunch of people all of a sudden started knitting and it looked like fun. So various teachers showed me how to do certain things and the rest I picked up from knitting magazines. I ended up teaching our year's student body president to knit too and he made this cute purple scarf for his girlfriend at the time.
I've stopped and started knitting at various times, I either knit a lot or I don't knit at all, so it's taken time for me to learn how to knit in different ways because there are just SO MANY ways of knitting all sorts of stuff. XD It's reeeaally relaxing though and it's a good thing for me to do while watching movies because I don't like having idle hands and this way, I can still watch what's on the screen. :D
