Pretty
The first beaded wrist warmer is done!
There's only one problem...
Yeah, kitchener stitch in garter stitch, my first attempt, not so good. Somehow it's a few stitches off, which means the bead pattern doesn't line up. So, time to pick it out and try again. I only did five repeats of the pattern instead of the six called for by the pattern; it fits my narrow wrist nicely, and the garter stitch is stretchy enough to fit over my hand.
Oh, and it's nice and toasty!

Gorgeous! I've never done GS kichener, so you're one up on me however it turned out.
Thanks! I used the instructions here:

It's not perfect but I think I know how to fix it for the next wristlet, so I'll post the results here eventually.
Very beautiful! Good luck re-kitchenering.
Oh -- I love it. Kudos!
The cuff is beautiful ... and I'm like you, I'd have to rip that kichener and do it again. The cuff is too pretty not to.
Between your cuffs and Grumperina's pretty hat, I want to knit with beads now.
Oh my goodness. Look at that gorgeous beaded knitting! Respect is due!
Re the kitchener--how about taking it out, folding the cuff "inside out" and doing a three-needle bindoff instead? The "seam" would be on the wrong side, so you wouldn't see it. Though if you'd rather see the seam than feel it (it might be annoying to feel a seam against your wrist) you could do the bind-off on the right side. I am really seriously grafting-impaired so that's probably what I would end up doing.
That's really a lovely wristwarmer. Good luck getting the finishing just right.
