Cable Cuffs

In the 16 boxes of "stuff" that arrived last weekend I found a bag full of odds and ends of yarn and wool...YIPPPEEEEEEEEE more wool!!  And just in time....because all I have left in my old stash is cotton....and I just LOVE knitting with 100% wool. 

It is so so so hard to find 100% wool here in Chelmsford...mostly it is either Acrylic or a mixture....so I was really happy to see the Pattons Merino wool sitting in my boxes for me. 

Over this week between unpacking and ironing and laundry and tiding and cooking and everything I have been able to enjoy a little bit of my lovely wool and have knit these beautiful cuffs for my friend Hannah's birthday pressie. 






Perfect for keeping wrists warm on cool days...if you are stuck at a desk....typing all day....or just hanging out grabbing a coffee!

  3. Carrie...thanks for your comment! I gave these to my friend Hannah last night and now feel a bit jealous of her! Maybe knitting is something you could try when you are in Germany? xo
