Wrist warmers

There were some leftover yarn from the socks.

So to avoid my yarn stock to grow out of control, I decided to be quick and really use the rest of it for something Sofie-friendly. Something she could use in spring.

Sofie is often riding her bike to school, so I made her some extra long wrist-warmers. And she is already using them. The Stavanger climate does not distinguish to much between winter, spring or summer. It is normally a few degrees plus, rain and wind :-)

My flower power jacket - extra part needed

Due to my recless way of felting my big project, I needed to make some wristwarmers for the Flower Power Jacket.
Luckily there were leftover yarns in amounts good enough for wrist warmers. (And for more small stuff).
I used the smaller flower parts of the patterns and the start of the jacket as pattern.
And I made them big so I could felt them.

I am happy with the result.

Wrist warmers

When we where in Denmark on the Knitting festival - I ended up buying loads of new knitting projects. One of them was wrist warmers made by wool from Yaks.
(Sorry - I am not joking - 50 grams of nicely spun, thin yarn from Yaks)
With the yarn there were a great pattern for Wrist warmers. So I knitted a pair as my travelling knitting project.
The result is:
They are just always keeping the right temperature. Never to warm or cold, in the office or outdoor.
Amasing quality.
Easy design.

So now I need to find out more about this yarn.


When I was done with mine, Sofie also wanted some.


I did not have more yarn (Well some, but not enough) so I used the same thin yarn as her socks were made of. And the result was satisfying.

Knit one below

I went to the Knitting festival in Fanø in September with two friends. We had great weather, good work shops and delicious foods. We meet great people and returned with loads of inspirations.

One workshop I went to was named Knit One Below and we learned a technique to knit with two colours, one colour at the time, creating columns of colours.

I tested this out at home with some leftover yarn from a pair of mittens I made.

So this is how it looked by my first trial.

I think these will become nice wrist warmers.
