Poets Lace and Frills

Last week I finished some very cute cuffs.  This has inspired me to do some more.  An easy project with a big effect.  I love the fact that these can be hidden up under current shirts, sweaters, jackets etc. and provide the outfit with a new look.  In this day when every penny counts this is a fantastic way to give old sweaters an upgrade with out busting the bank.  They also provide warmth.  Yes even though it is a small item this little bit of wool with go right on your wrist and keep all that warmth in your body just the same effect has a simple scarf around your neck keeps the chill off so will these little babies.  So cast on with some fantastic patterns.  I got this one from Ravelry from Stephanie A Smith.  I used a slightly larger needle to acquire more lacy look but otherwise followed her brilliant pattern! Stephanie also has a Word Press blog so be sure to drop by and check her out.  She can also be found at Etsy Strings and Things  She has a wonderful assortment of beautiful yarns just waiting to be snatched up and creations made from them. 

For this project I had some wool that had been given as a gift from Germany.  I decided to use it to create these cuffs.
