This is my first knitting project ever! I have played around with knitting a few times in the past and was a little familiar with the basic knit and purl stitches. But, I have never actually made something from a pattern.
I probably should have started with a more basic pattern that did not require use of 4 knitting needles (at a time), stitch markers, stitch holders and attaching a thumb. But that just wouldn't be me. I find what I like and adjust my skills as necessary. Of course, I consulted my mother-in-law and youtube. I love that you can type in knitting terms and get a little tutorial from your home computer. Amazing! I actually thought the pattern was fairly simple once I got into it. I am sure I could do a better job were I to do a second pair. But, I am not a perfectionist. I am perfectly content with my cozy wrist warmers. They make me feel frilly and feminine while simulatneously feeling like a rough & tough boxer. Who could ask for more?

Very cool cheryl...I need to be more creative and knit stuff! Mom taught me how to knit rags, and I made 3 of them one time a couple years ago, but I forgot how to get started???? I'll have to play around I guess and/or check out youtube.
Do they come in black? I will pay you to make some for me...black and white stripped. I haven't gotten round to knitting, yet. You crafty person you.
