So I have been thinking about how to diversify my Etsy store. Since it has been getting colder I thought what better item than wrist warmers! I love knitting them :)
The first pair I knit was from a pattern I found off of Ravelry but I had to modify the pattern because my yarn gauge was higher. Here are some shots of my first ever wrist warms... and the first time I ever knit cable!!
I do admit I can be ambitious sometimes. I tend to tackle projects where the difficulty of a new skill is high. But I made a ton of mistakes while making these. I made these at the beginning of this year, and since then I've knit pairs for various friends, each getting a different cable pattern on the back. Once you get the basic wrist warmer pattern, it is fairly easy to come up with your own pattern to personalize it. The hardest part about coming up with your own pattern is centering the cable pattern on the back :D
