Hurry Up Spring Armwarmers

I finally finished the 'Hurry Up Spring Armwarmers' from Stitch N' Bitch Nation.

It was an easy pattern to follow but, as I mentioned before, it does have some errors. So be sure to check these out before you start knitting.

The cable pattern is simple. Managing a cable needle and 4 double pointed needles made me feel like I was all thumbs;)

If you are new to knitting cables I would recommend you look at the 'Cable and Bobble Headband' in the Winter 2006 Interweave Knits. This was my first cable project and I found it very newbie friendly.

Knit Armwarmers

Beginning to Knit
I was so excited to get started on these 'Hurry Up Spring Armwarmers' from Stitch 'n Bitch Nation that I broke my #1 cardinal rule of knitting. Always check the pattern for errors BEFORE starting to knit. Oops, I didn't and oops it did.
I spotted the error after I'd knit it. I tried to fix it without frogging all of the work I'd done so far, but to no avail. After this false start I'm now well on my way.

Moral: Always check the web for errata before beginning to knit. I've found pretty much every commercially published book and magazine has corrections published on the web.
