Accessorizing

Contrary to what one might gather from my recent posts (or lack thereof), I have actually been doing some knitting over the past few months. Lately, I haven't been very interested in knitting garments; instead, I have been working on smaller projects, accessories mostly. First (although I guess this isn't really knitting), I finished the second of the crocheted fingerless gloves that I showed off in an earlier post.



My husband wasn't home to take a picture of me modeling both of them, so just to prove that there actually are two of them:



I also finished another pair of wrist accessories, Marnie MacLean's Executive Funk. I made these out of a skein of Elsebeth Lavold's Silky Wool that was given to me as a gift.





I had never knit with Silky Wool before, and I have to say that I love this yarn! I am, however, trying to fight my nagging suspicion that because of the color of the yarn, it looks a little bit like I am wearing lettuce leaves around my wrists.
