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.
Hey, Isobel your wristwarmers look great. The yarn looks kinda heavy so I bet they are much warmer than the ones I made. Thanks for your comments by the way - for some reason though, blogger won’t let me post your comments to my post!!

Your wristwarmers look great indeed. Must do a third attempt at my own ones.What are you working on now that you have finished?

I’m still working on my bag - almost finished the main bit and I’m on to the strap. Then I’m waiting for a delivery from getknitted so I can make a pair of socks for my boyfriend, and attempt the branching out scarf from knitty. And maybe a hat, or tea cosy. I’m trying to finish the works in progress before I start something new.

What about all that knitting behind the settee in England?
