Comments: This yarn is really, really soft and comfy. However, it looks really matted and yarn quickly - even before the scarf was finished. Even though it's so soft, I don't think I'd use it again.

Here's a closeup

Comments: I took a class at Stitches Midwest a few years ago on these bead knitted wristers, but I had never actually made one. I used the technique on the cuffs of these gloves, though. I moved into a new office, with a window!, in November and it was pretty cold in there, so I thought wristers would be great, so I made these, forgetting I had already used that pattern on the gloves. They look cute and actually do keep me pretty warm, though.

Here's me wearing them, feeling very much like Wonder Woman!

I decided to use the same technique to make wristers for my niece, Jessica, who is in high school. I created this skull and cross bones chart specially for this technique. I finished these on Feb. 25, 2004.
