More wristwarmers
Thanks for your opinions on the Mermaid sleeve. I will try to put it in, to see if it works, and if it does, knit the second sleeve. If it doesn't......well.... I'll probably say some ugly words, throw the thing in a corner in disgust, cry on T.'s shoulder, take a hot bath, drink a glass of wine, knit some other things, take a deep breath, then take it apart and start over.
In the meantime, I'm working up some courage for the Sleeve Project by knitting on the wristwarmers for my aunt.
The first one is finished, the second is coming along nicely. I really like making these, they're a quick knit. Of course, you have to string on the beads first (96 in this case). And the invisible cast-on is a bit of a pain, but once that is over, the knitting is a breeze. When that is done, I graft the seam closed. Not my favorite part, but it leaves the seam nice and tidy!

Prachtige polswarmers, maak je die in gerstekorrel? Nog een heel gedoe om al die kraaltjes er eerst om te krijgen, moet je wel weten hoeveel draad je nodig hebt. Brei je deze op 2 pennen? Succes met je 'moed' verzamelen.

I love your writswarmers. I'm just starting to warm up to knitting with beads and thought these would be great to do next. How did you get the beads on that sock yarn??
Good luck with Mermaid. She's horrible to be putting you through this. ;)

I love those writswarmers, I need a pair of those very very soon. So cute. And I am wearing writswarmers almost all the time. As soon as I get one thing done, they are on my needles! Thanks for the idea.

Hello Saartje,
me would interest, as you knit your wrist-warmly. How many meshes and how many lining you knit? I also knit the Regia Silk ,and I would try yours wrist-warmly to knit. Many greetings, Maartje
