Leftovers

I finished my wrist warmers from the leftovers of my Army Sock Kit using beads I bought in Thirsk, Yorkshire. These were knit with the same size 2 needles I used to knit the socks. I cast on 35 stitches for each one and when finished, there were only about 6 yards of yarn left! So that worked out well! The beads are from a cute little embroidery shop we found on the way to the James Heriot Centre. They are size 5 beads in shades of smoky purple, blue and green and have white stripes on them like African Christmas beads. I can't wait for cooler weather so I can wear them!
