Wristees

A while ago I made a nice pattern for some

hand / wrist warmers and they turned out very good.

That was after 5 failures of course.

I made them with a cotton blend, so there not itchy.

The downside with cotton is that it is not stretchy.

So the next batch I'm gonna make with wool.

For the first week or so I'm making 5 pair

wrist / hand warmers for a lovely family.

2 pair for adults and 3 pair for there children,

so by the beginning of February a whole family

is gonna keep there hands warm with handmade wrist warmers :)

I love doing custom orders and I am so happy

that people have confidence in me,

and that they are happy with the result.

You can buy them in my Etsy store  

and also on Facebook, which is new by the way.

Anyway here are a few pictures of the new hand / wrist warmers.

 

Knitting project 5

The last project I made was a nice scarf. I finished it last week. The pattern is from Drops; garnstudio.com but instead of 2 I used 1 tread of yarn, because I wanted to use the scarf inside like an accessory. I just made a picture of it;

This is what I did;   Row 1 (= RS): * K1, 1 YO *, repeat from *-* until 1 st remain and finish with K1.
Row 2 (= WS): K all sts, at the same time slip all YO off needle (long sts).
Repeat row 1 and 2.       Worked in 1 strand Eskimo from Drops.
Cast on 10 sts on needle size 9 mm with 1 strand old pink. After 1 skein go further with purple 1 skein and then 1 skein old pink again, cast off LOOSELY, and the new scarf is done.

Have a nice crafty day!
