Shades of the Celtic Forest Wrist Warmers

CreatingTheHive.com Autumn Challenge

Falling leaves, crisp cool air, and harvest blessings are signs of the Autumn season.  Knit these lacy, Celtic inspired, wrist warmers on two needles.

Today I have a free pattern for you to celebrate Autumn that was created for the Creating The Hive Autumn Challenge.  Visit this cool craftin' community - so many categories!  Don't worry my knitties, there's plenty of knit kittens, happy crochet campers and fabulous fiberella's on hand to Wow you. 

I've rated this pattern Easy (basic knitting knowledge).  These wrist warmers are knit on 2 needles (I know how some of you love that option) and a fairly simple lace pattern added for some flair with no difficult shaping involved.  Not into the color I chose? - no problem, Halloween comes in several colors to choose from and I've included some resource videos for you to make your knitting experience go smoothly in case this is your first time with a couple of the stitches.  There's even a great little video of a surprisingly easy binding off technique that you can use over and over. Give it a try!

Marg (why not take a walk this weekend and look for signs of Autumn- a little urban or rural renewal exercise)
