Notes

Instead of frogging this project, I changed it into a wrist warmer … or is it a coffee cosy … or maybe a flower pot decoration …?

Although I used my thinnest needles (1,5 mm) I didn’t manage to achieve the correct gauge (should be 10.5 sts per inch, my swatch said 9 sts). I didn’t have the yarn suggested, but I thought my yarn should be thin enough?

But I really like my color combination, and I am now inspired to knit “real” wrist warmers with this mix, but in another pattern, and with less stitches.

And for another try later on: The Shetland Heritage-yarn is now on my wish list! I am curious to see and feel the difference.
