Obsessive Tendencies Have Formed

As you can see, I can't stop myself from making these things! Unfortunately, I made the mistake of doing the second half of this pair while at a super bowl party, which resulted in two different-sized handwarmers. Oh well, they're just for Matt.

I've begun another pair of these that I like better, but I'll wait until I've got them done to post. I think the key is to use smaller yarn with a smaller gauge and a durable, ropey texture. That way when you're pulling them on and off you don't worry that you'll stretch them out or anything. Anyways, when I'm done with this pair it's very likely that I'll start another....there's just something addidictive about the whole instant gratification thing. I'm thinking that next time I might try some color work, maybe a big L and R so that I know which is left and right. Or maybe a big G? I'll have to think about it. I'm still a bit afraid of that whole color work, carrying yarn behind situation.

In non-knitting news, Matt and I went to the MOMA yesterday to see the Chuck Close exhibit before it's gone forever. It was definitely worth the $7. each to get in, we both really enjoyed it. It was really interesting to see all of the different ways that he has expressed the same image while maintaining public interest and exploring different mediums. Blah blah blah, I know.
