Santa gave me a fabulous book of knitting patterns: Pretty In Punk by Alyce Benevides and Jacquline Milles, and I have the yarn to knit myself a pair of "Love Bites" striped wrist warmers. The pattern is straightforward: narrow stripes with an fair isle heart written for knitting flat, then sewing a seam afterwards. However I much prefer to knit everything in the round and avoid seams altogether! So time to learn a new knitting skill: joggless stripes. Fortunately for me, Techknitter has provided some very good instructions on how to do this on her blog here . So this will be my project for the few days away over new year. Watch this space for photo of the finished articles!
Happy New Year: may your dreams become reality in 2011!

Hehehe wish i'd seen Techknitter's blog post before making all my friends snoods with stripes that don't quite join up....lol
Luckily for me, I remembered folks talking at Stitch London about methods of knitting joggless stripes, and did an on-line search ; )
