    I have been knitting since the age of six. Therefore I have a huge collection of left over yarns, yarns I bought for a project and yarns I bought thinking I would use them in another project. That being said I am always looking for ways to use up yarn that I have without having to go buy more. I have made Chemo Caps for the Children's Hopitals and Breast Cancer patients, I have also made beanies for premies and new born for the local NCU. Yarns that didn't work for those projects are now being made into wrist warmers. My daughter moved from Southern California to the Northwest and has yet to acclimate to the cold. The first pair I made was for her; she loved them and had friends wanting them as well. So here I am making wrist warmers, fingerless gloves, gauntlets or what ever you want to call them. They are great for wearing if you still need to use your fingers and want to keep your hands warm. They also work great for the person with arthritis in the wrist, warmth helps make that feel better. Check out my listings, the colors are ever changing. I make them in five sizes; x-small, small, medium, large, and x-large. There should be a size to fit just about everyone.
