didn't mean to do that...

Ooops. CADD strikes again. It's [livejournal.com profile] hiraimi's fault! I had been meaning to make super simple pair of knit garters forever, and this morning she handed me a bag of undyed wool yarn her Mom was off-loading. Tonight after dinner I decided to untangle and wind it onto a ball...Then I figured why not I'd start. I just used the one pair of wooden needles I have, perhaps in the size 8ish? they're not labeled. And did a garter stitch...and suddenly I had a strip long enough to wrap around my leg and tie! So I cast off and suddenly had a garter. I'm debating putting matching tassels on the ends..but they're not really anything special so perhaps that's silly. Either way I won't have to use bias tape pieces anymore!  I hope I don't seriously regret this much knitting in the morning...I'm not good at pacing myself and sometimes feel it in the morning.
