Okay, if being cast as Penny in the Whidbey Island Center for the Arts production of Dr. Horrible’s Sing-Along Blog isn’t reason enough to make these, then I don’t know what is.

Update 10/18/10:
The show is OPEN! If you’re in the greater Seattle area, go to http://wicaonline.com/2010-2011/THEATRE%20SERIES/HORRIBLE... and get tickets!!

Update 10/31/10:
The show is done, set is struck, and I’m sad… but still have several costume pieces and these lovely wristers to remind me of the fun we had.

Knitting these in the round, 3x1 ribbing instead of 2x2. Added 4 stitches to make up for slightly smaller yarn and needles. They fit perfectly!

Will be interesting to pick up stitches for the button band. Not going to do actual buttonholes… too lazy.

Yes, picking up stitches on this is interesting. I wound up pulling the yarn through at one end and using a crochet hook to pull the stitches back through and onto a needle. Then discovered I’d done it at the wrong end. But at least now I know it will work.

At least it goes quickly, so when I have to completely take the button band apart and do it all over again, it only takes an hour or so.
Both button bands are on and sewn down. I didn’t bother with the buttonholes, since they won’t be functional. They look good!
