  6. Katie says:

    Kathy & Jenny – Just finished my first pair of ribby wristwarmers….a present for my boss, no less!! Used 2 needles size 8 & pink/rose variegated yarn (her favorite color). Easy pattern in “The Knitter’s Bible, knitted accessories” by Claire Crompton, page 52. The work up fast! Will add ribbon threaded in and out along wrist. Good luck!

  7. Nicola says:

    Thanks so much for the patterns – I have made three pairs of the Evenstar for my daughters, in different colours. They are truly beautiful and everyone is now wanting a pair. Yes, I know that they were quite a challenge as I had never used the three/four needles before but now I am addicted! I would advise the other contributors to this page to have a go too – there is nothing like achieving something new!
