The Queen's Whiskers


That is how Mary read the title of the previous post and I've been chuckling over it ever since.
Indeed there were whiskers in the form of ends that had to be woven in.
The first one is done and after a nice little soak the yarn is much softer and not at all unpleasant against the skin. I'm still not sure it would be my first choice, but I have an idea that it would make very sturdy and long-lasting projects.
This is another project that I'm making just for the fun of it. I don't find wristers quite as practical for me as I do the longer, fingerless mitts. Still I suppose in a really cold climate they might come in very handy to bridge any gap between sleeve and glove.

LOL Now I can see they are black and white. Very dainty! We "Northerner's" wear wristers or gauntlets/fingerless mitts over our gloves. Just another layer of insulation from the really cold temps and playing in the snow. So wish I needed them still.
Enjoy the week. Weatherman says 70's for us. It's creeping back in.

They are wonderful...
I like the pulse warmers, I guess they are storm cuffs worn on the person rather than attached to the coat. Very tricky... I like the color and pattern that it works. Very nice....
