Love in a Cold Climate & Other Novels by Nancy Mitford
Ahhh, stories of posh English people in days now sadly passed. Just think, I could have been a debutante…..

Wristwarmers
I finished my wristwarmers! There are 2 of them, only the left hand one pictured.
Knitted on 5mm double pointed needles in a 1x1 rib, using Debbie Bliss Maya. The yarn is different thicknesses throughout, which affects how the stitches look together - I like it for these - wristwarmers like this are never going to look smart, so why try to make them that way?
What I really love about them is that they’re made just for me, so they fit perfectly around my tiny childish weak wrists. They’re an adaptation of Voodoo from Knitty, except the yarn is different, the measurements are different, and I used a different rib. So, I changed most of it really, but the end result is kinda similar - mine aren’t so neat and tidy, but I like them that way, they’ll go well with my battered old jeans.
