Enchantments sold separately :D
These wristguards will hold any minor enchantment - mentally recite the spell during cable rows and the double cables will hold it in place.*
Techniques: cabling, knitting in two colors, knitting in the round on double-pointed needles
This was actually one of the first times I've ever knit in two colors, and I think the second project I've ever done that had cables. I don't think you need to have cabled before to do this project.
For the knitting in two colors, I don't know if I'm doing it exactly right, but it turned out fine. When I switched yarns for the first time, I just let go of the yarn-ball end my first (green) yarn and picked up the second (orange) yarn (leaving a 10 to 15 cm tail of new yarn to weave in), and started knitting with the orange. Then when it was time to knit with the green yarn again, I let go of the orange and picked up the green from where it was hanging (at the last place where I stitched with it), and started knitting with green again. Knitting in two colors is WAY easier than I thought. Try it!
Abbreviations:
All my knitting abbreviations are standard - e.g.:
k8 = make eight knit stitches
p2 = make two purl stitches
sl = slip (that is, move a stitch over without knitting or purling it)
st = stitch(es)
* Results may vary. Spells will not function in universes where Magic plugin is not installed. Knitters are advised to check local laws of nature to avoid compatibility issues.

worsted weight wool, two colors
(Extra points if you use UV-glow yarn - my green is Red Heart Kids, color 2652 Lime. Unfortunately I lost the label for my orange yarn so I don't know what kind it is. Take a blacklight keychain to the yarn store - lots of yarns glow even though it doesn't say so on the label! I got my yarn at Zellers.)
set of four 4.5mm double-pointed needles
(I like bamboo needles - my knitting gets too tight on metal needles, and something about the friction of yarn on plastic needles drives me up the wall - it's like fingernails on a chalkboard.)
cable needle
yarn needle
(big blunt needle with large eye for yarn to go through)
scissors

I tried to enchant a plush toy to make it bring happiness to whoever held it, but it didn't work out :(
