The pattern....

....for the wristwarmers, if anyone's interested. This is a widely variable pattern for yarn weight and such, and of course is just one of the thousands of variants already out there, but still, here 'tis:

I used: Plymouth Yarn Baby Alpaca Grande, 1 skein in color 635 (a grayish blue) (~3 st/in)
Size 10 1/2 straight needles

CO 20 stitches using your favorite method (I used the knitting on method)
Row 1: K all st
Row 2: P1, K1 to end of row

Repeat rows 1 and 2 until the fabric is about 9 inches long, then COff on a pearl row, leaving a long tail. Fold the fabric in half lenghtwise and use the tail to sew down the seam, being sure to leave a hole for your thumb. You'll have a tube with a thumb hole, with the CO edge on your wrist and the Coff edge on your fingers. Weave in all ends, and enjoy the softness. Mmmmm soft.
