Good Morning!
Well almost...I neglected to get this post done last night...so sorry. I have been very busy so I have lots of new things to post for you over the next couple days. First off many of you may have been noticing women and young ladies wearing an item on their wrist that is unfamiliar to you. It probably wasn't a glove, even a fingerless version...so what was it? This newest craze is called wrist cuff or wrist warmer. And they are just that! A great way to keep your wrists warm, but for many it is all about making a fashion statement. I have seen many a young lady sporting a fashionable wrist cuff - most often it was peeking out from under her sweatshirt or sweater. I have made some myself. Some are felted with silk as an accent. Some are sewn with velvet, lace and other embellishments. And one is a fingerless glove out of wool (many varieties), tussah silk, viscose and silk noil. Some of these come as a pair though I am only posting one. However, keep in mind that many use only one cuff - especially when it is done for fashion.
I think that many more women would benefit from a pair of cuffs. Many of my friends complain about stiff hands and wrists, especially during the winter. Those that knit and crochet are really bothered by it so I think that a pair of cuffs could help them out so they can continue to enjoy their hobby! Patterns can be found on the Internet at http://www.ravelry.com/ and http://www.lionbrand.com/ and your can look at the types others are creating at http://www.etsy.com/
Enjoy!
Janet
