The Fetching Fingerless Gloves pattern by Cheryl Niamath first caught my eye years ago. It calls for knitting on double point needles (DPNs) which I soon found were like cryptonite to me...... I just couldn't get the hang of it. Here I am years later with wonderful knitting buds who probably got tired of me talking about Fetchings & suggested that I try 2 circular needles instead. BINGO! I absolutely love the pattern (completed in 2 days). Decided to use Bernat Cashmere Natural Blends from the stash for my trial pair. Wow - soft, thick & wonderful.
I was so happy after finishing them last week, my knitting mojo went in full swing. Here's the pics so far........
Each item only took a day of knitting so they're high on my list. The first is another One Skein Beret from Artful Yarns Old Western. The second hat is the Purls Arrow Hat that I found on Patternfish.com. Nice pattern & once again only took a day of knitting. My self-imposed yarn diet isn't working very well. I fell in love with Creatively Dyed Yarns at last month's Stitches East event. As I was walking away with my loot (aka purchases), I saw this beautiful colorway. 
It's called "Canoe" and it's the most fabulous mix of blue, green & gray! You'll notice that isn't a stock photo. It's the 2 hanks I ordered & received last week. Headed home today to continue the Knitting Mojo Marathon..........

you gotta work the mojo when the mojo is there to be worked! Love that hat. my yarn diet didn't work so well either. i gave away a dozen skeins and magically a dozen have reappeared in the main floor yarn stash. i cannot really explain it (and since i didn't use a credit card, I will probably never have to)
Nice wrist warmers and LOVE the Purls and Arrows hat!
Good for you! That hat is absolutely gorgeous & your Fetchings look so soft & cozy.
all right on the mojo... looking good there!great FO's... I fell in love with Creatively Dyed Yarns too.
I love that Purls Arrow Hat! And anything that only takes a day to knit is high on my list lately too. I'm happily wallowing in mittens, but they're great to knit: not too timely, room for lace or cables or fair isle, but not so much as to make you crazy.
