So - next stop is my local knitting shop! ... 45 mins later (quite what we were doing I don't know) - I purchased some King Cole Mirage 872!
The gloves didn't have thumb holes, or fingers. Basically just a knitted square sewn up one side with a hole left where the thumb sticks out! So here I go....I have started!

I have done a few rows of rib at the bottom (my first RIB STITCH ever!) and then plain stocking stitch.... I will finish off with a final few rows of RIB I think.... watch this space, it may take me a while

hihi!! Well it's looking good so far! Loving the colours as they build up, a lot more than on the actually ball of yarn, which is quite surprising!
Oooooooooooo look at you

@ Petit Filoux - the yarn looks a little brighter on this photo, it is quite lovely and muted. I also bought another Mirage one which is all different browns and creams (in anticipation of success eek)
@ Vix - I KNOW!
Okay, now we need a shot with your hand in the warmer. Sounds like loads of fun! I wore my scarf (again, thank you very much!) last weekend and literally had to hold on to it all morning. A couple of my "friends" took a great liking to it. Will have to watch them when they visit!!!!!
I have just finished sewing up the first one - so will take a pic soon (ish)... Glad everyone liked your scarf - I sent my friend one and she said she could have sold hers 5 times over in the school playground!?

What gorgeous colours in your yarn - the wrist warmers are going to be so very lovely!
Thank you for your kind comments over at mine, I really appreciate you celebrating our special news with us :-)
I'm still dancing !!!
Happy weekend,

I'm planning on wearing it to my next quilt guild meeting. We have three ladies there who are nuts about purple. I may be taking my life in my hands. Looking forward to the pic of the wristies! Winter is officially here. It was only 18 F when we got up this morning! BRRRRRR
