I recently tried to make several armwarmers, and trying out different techniques. Not so advaced, but a little. I had a little bit of white yarn left over from a previous project, so I decided to try something new. I casted on 40 stitches on four needles. I also knitted with another thicker, whiter tread, a ’string’ that goes upwards. . . See pictures, difficult to explain. How I did that was to knit two with my MC, then one purl with the other tread, then finish knitting the round, then knitting three MC stitches, one purl with the other, and so on until I reached the part when the thumb were to be made. I am not a very experienced knitter, so I just did what was easiest (what I thought at least) to make the thumb. I turned my knitting around and knitted a round (when the knitting was turned I knitted purl), then turned it again, and so on until the thumb hole was done, then I knitted as usual until the length I wanted was acquired.
But the result was to too comforting. I now know that knitting like this isnt really comfortable. As the knitting doesn’t stretch when you take it on. But I will still post the pictures. I like the other white tread that circles around the arm warmer. It was a nice lesson.
