They have a lot of patterns.<br />I agree moving on to Fingerless gloves is the next easiest step and they are much shorter so it goes quicker:)<br />And you can make cozys for anything too, like cups, jars, mugs ect.<br />Also dont be afraid to try a hat either, I just finished my first hat and its not nearly as hard as I thought it would be!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12220080129404841483noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3402767592335548328.post-45634359337550026152009-11-02T08:51:20.921+00:002009-11-02T08:51:20.921+00:00Yay, thanks for so many great tips everyone!

And they finish fairly quickly. Legwarmers and wristwarmers (fingerless mitts) are good too.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04707852762353067837noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3402767592335548328.post-24590780456938123912009-10-30T22:26:52.394+00:002009-10-30T22:26:52.394+00:00I have a wash cloth pattern around here somewhere ...I have a wash cloth pattern around here somewhere that I like the design of, and it's the only thing I've ever finished while knitting.

The Skein Queen has a nice pattern for knitted lavender hearts, which are quick to make and good presents - tea cosies are not difficult, either.<br /><br />Pomona xPomonahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18399181139470676975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3402767592335548328.post-38419838979743216082009-10-30T17:39:37.615+00:002009-10-30T17:39:37.615+00:00Great knittingwork!
