A peek at my latest crochet. Another brilliant idea from Lucy at Attic 24, they are wrist warmers. Just the thing for the weather of late. They were quick to crochet up, in fact these only took a couple of evenings. I'm enjoying a purple clothes phase just now, so it fits in with my colour scheme too, with a splash of pink and grey-blue for contrast.
I made mine quite long as I hate having a gap between sleeves and gloves, nothing worse than wrapping up to keep out the cold and then letting it in! I'm pleased with how they have turned out, so pleased that I'm going to make some more, in different colours; and if I receive some favourable comments from friends, their Christmas presents could be sorted too! They'll be having their first outing later today.
Oooh - they look lovely - really good colour choice! I've made some too but wasn't quite brave enough to make them so long - I wish I had know, they look great.

I can't believe I just typed 'know' instead of 'now' - what is happening to my brain? I have an English degree for goodness sake!

Perfect, I love fingerless mitts, great for shopping and the colours are lovely.

Trying to teach myself crochet but I think I am a long way off from achieving such a creation :) Like your colour scheme.
