Toast + Firefly
I happen to be one of those people that is excited that armwarmers and legwarmers are popping up all over the place lately. I have yet to pull my very heavy suitcase full of winter clothes out from a very high place...so resorted to knitting some armwarmers instead.
I saw patterns for Toast and Toasty and quickly found yarn to make them. For Toast, I bought this buttery curry colored wool from Rosie's.
Knitted up on size 5 needles, this Lorna Lace's Shepherds Sock Yarn is fast. As well as squishy and deliciously soft.
The color is so pretty, really. Although, with my Asian and German/Irish/Welsh skintones, I can't wear it near my face...
Appropriately, the colorway is called Firefly.
One down and one to go. Until then, this one armwarmer is currently a staple to my wardrobe!

Nice and toasty . . .
I need to make something like that for afternoons in the office when my hands start to freeze. Looks like a really quick knit too.
Soooo good! Arm warmers are the best, I've been wearing mine non-stop. Very exciting.
Eek! That color is AWESOME! And what a cool photo. I'm feeling a little knitting urge coming on...
Oh, love the yellow! I haven't broken out my arm warmers yet but it's just about time with how cold it's getting in the morning!
I found myself knitting a hat that color while wearing a scarf that color. I love that color.
