Wrist warmers

The cuffs are DONE! The second one went much, much faster - I started on Wednesday and finished on Sunday. The details: Misti Alpaca laceweight, doubled; #8 seed beads, knit on US #1 needles, pattern from Jan/Feb 2006 Piecework. The doubled laceweight is a good weight and makes threading the beads easier, but the two strands were liable to get tangled up when one was full of beads. I'm all set for the next pair: blue beads and charcoal-gray fingering-weight Plassard Alpaga.

Oh, they're wonderful! Very inspiring. And let me guess--they're made from Flower Basket leftovers, aren't they? :-) That was a very clever idea.

Yep, exactly! It was the only thing I could find in the stash that was fine enough for beads, and soft enough to wear on my wrists.
