Ode to my Feet

feet, feet
you are so neat
i wear you bare
in the heat

we travel miles
across the land
leaving imprints
in the sand

feet, you are so
dear to me
thanks to you
i feel so free

Inspiration

If you can walk you can dance.
If you can talk you can sing.

... and if you can sit, you can knit. Inspired by this beautiful card, today I'm working on a complicated lace shawl, soaking in rays of sunlight in the window seat and drinking tea from my favorite little blue flowery cups. Life is wonderful.

Handy and Dandy

 
Yarn: superwash sport weight sock yarn hand-dyed by me

Needles: US1 DPNs for the fingers, long circs for the body of the hand. US1 is quite small needle for this yarn, resulting in a very tight fabric. I like my gloves to be warm!

Method: A pattern of my own design. Cuff worked in K1P1 on row one, then P1K1 on row 2. Used asymmetrical thumb gusset to create a distinctly left and right glove, from instructions in an Interweave Knits article about gloves. 45 stitches for cuff and body of hand, 16 stitches for each finger. These fit me very snugly.
