more crochet and knit

[bunrab]

Two more projects I've finished recently:

This is another baby blanket, since there is another niece or nephew due this spring. (And another great-nephew due sometime this year also, so you'll see at least one more baby blanket this season!)



And some knitted wrist warmers for fadethecat using a really simple method; the stitch is a variety of mistake rib, or Misteak Rib if one wishes to belabor the point:

Wrist warmers! Woo! (Where does the stitch namecome from?)

In regular ribbing, you cast on an even number of stitches, preferably a multiple of 4, and then knit 2, purl 2 all the way across, or k4,p4, or k6,p6, etc.

In mistake rib, you deliberately cast on an odd number, so that there will be an overlap of one stitch between the knit and purl columns, creating a column of garter stitch between each column of all-knit or all-purl.

Misteak Rib

I think McDonald's seves one of those.
