I am knitting with either 100% Merino Wool or a Wool/Acrylic blend and they are sooooo soft!
I can't seem to put my knitting needles down....At this rate I will have to start selling them-as they are multiplying at an alarming speed-
(The model in the photo is Marcie, a real cutie-pie and a good friend of my son Elliott---They are spending New Years Eve "snacking" and watching Ferris Bueller's Day Off---What fun!)

Bev,
I embellish the wristlets with vintage buttons, but the ones I had with the buttons have all been handed out to my kids and a few friends and a set to my mother-in-law for Christmas. That's why I have been asking for large vintage buttons to put on the ones I have knitted since then and the ones I am currently making.
Very cute!! I need to knit some for my youngest daughter. She has bad "hand chapping issues" and wants to wear them this winter and see if it helps. Yours are very nice!! I tend to knit mostly socks and these would be quicker I bet. You should sell them!
They are cute :) I made some for myself as well...the only problem for me is I still get very cold hands, so really need the full gloves. But they are cute :)
Hugs from Marian/Dutchy, a farmgirl from the Netherlands :)
Melody, oh how cute. They look adorable. Wristlets are on my "to do" knitting list when I get the time. Gave my son a pair that were made out of a felted sweater this past Christmas. So want to knit some up as well do the felted sweater thing too. But you're right - great gift idea for family and friends. Great job.
