Restless Knitter

I think it’s only fair to warn you that the following pictures may cause blindness. You may want to get your sunglasses before going any further.

I have a thing for anklets. I love ‘em. I hardly ever show my legs (blinding glare, egads!) so it doesn’t make much sense to wear one. I don’t know if it’s age or just plain defiance, but this year I might just toss my insecurities aside and bare the ol’ legs. If I’m going to bare the legs, then I can wear an anklet.

I found a pattern online (check out her Argosy patterns too) for a knitted one with charms so I set out to find charms and make one. I knit the first one the same as the pattern with the exception of using different yarn, which came out too long. (The tie takes up part of the knitted part and is too bulky. I’m afraid that it will come undone too easily.)

The next one, I crocheted with double stranded crochet cotton. Go ahead, call me a traitor. This one fits a bit better.

A ball of yarn with knitting needles, I (heart)2knit with a little sheep (I think that’s supposed to be a sheep) below it, and a cat with a ball of yarn.

Here are all of them that I attached. Moon with stars, a dragonfly (that I put on backwards, oops), and a dog on the other end. I didn’t particularly like this dog but I think it’s only fair the dog is represented too, don’t you?

I’m not sure which one I like better. I’m also afraid they’ll come untied and I’ll lose them so I’d like to get a real anklet and see what that looks like too. What do you all think? Knitted? Crocheted? Real one? None?

I’m going to SAFF this year! I wanted to go last fall but the timing just wasn’t right. I’m going to keep an eye on the weaving classes being offered and may sign up for one of those. Other than that, I’m going for the people and the shopping.
