Here is my latest knitting accomplishment. They're for my friend L - but she doesn't know that yet. I'm all a tingle with excitement for when I finally get to give them to her, but I'm also really excited to see her again on the dig. So there is nothing bad going on here.
From a knitting perspective these are cool because I did two things that I have never done before. They're wristwarmers and I figured out how to do the pattern myself. They're even slightly complex because I put in decreases along the arm so that they wouldn't be baggy at the wrist or too tight at the elbow. All my other wristwarmers have been ribbed so that they stretch quite a bit and that wasn't an issue. Another thing that I did for the first time is duplicate stitching, which means that I knitted the wristwarmer first and then stitched the pattern overtop. I used to think that this would be a hassle and not worth the effort, but boy was I ever wrong. I wish I'd started doing this ages ago. Expect far more knitting projects to include duplicate stitch in the future. :)
The patterns are Stargate Gate Glyphs and were designed by

pennyplainknits, and I found them in the fandom_knit community (I may also make myself a knitted Dalek from one of the patterns over there!).In other news I'm trying to crosspost this from Dreamwidth. Here's hoping it works.
