Dr Horrible Sing-a-long Wristers

Just a quickie to post my latest FO... a pair of luxurious cashmere wrist warmers. These are based on a free pattern on ravelry, which was itself inspired by the pair that Penny wears in Dr Horrible's sing-a-long blog. (Incidentally, if you haven't already watched this and are a fan of Joss Whedon... may I urge you to do so immediately?)

My ravelry link is here.... http://www.ravelry.com/projects/flockhartsl/dr-horribles-sing-a-long-wristers

I used RYC cashmere tweed in aran weight and some vintage bakelite buttons that I *adore*. The gloves were knit flat on straight needles and come together via the buttonholes. (You could easily knit them in the round if preferred and make the buttons purely decorative.)

Anyway I love them. Now I just need it to get cold...

  1. I *love* them. The way the buttons pop out like eyes. They are great!

  2. Thanks Alice... I think the buttons are the making of them. I nearly died when I found them as they were exactly what I wanted.
