At first, they don't feel particularly soft but after a wash, they soften up nicely and get softer the more they are worn in.<br /><br />I am glad it is still warm where you are. In South Australia, we are still having cold nights but the days are becoming sunnier and warmer. Spring has definitely arrived even though it isn't officially Spring until tomorrow. (I don't believe in judging seasons by the calendar - it is the weather, plants, animals and quality of the light that determines the season in my books.)<br /><br />How interesting that you found your wrist-warmers around the same time as I've been working on mine! There are quite a few shell-stitch patterns out there. Can you remember the name of your pattern? I have a couple of wrister patterns using shell-stitches but haven't made them up yet. I look forward to seeing yours...soon, I hope. :-) It would be nice to have them finished in time for the cooler weather.<br /><br />Good luck in finding your pattern details! xxJodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703986833050265474.post-15134536959916566072015-08-31T11:28:26.652+09:302015-08-31T11:28:26.652+09:30Thank you for your compliment, Meredith.

Your daughter is a lucky girl. Fortunately the weather here is still quite warm, so there is no need for wrist warmers. But today I found a pair of not-finished wrist warmers in my yarn cupboard and I think of finishing them. But I have totally forgotten about the pattern. When I find it I will tell you about it. It is a shell pattern, they really look beautiful but I can't remember where the pattern is. Hmpf!

As I worked these mitts, I kept thinking how much I would like a blue pair myself! <br />My daughter is very pleased with her gloves. Poor thing, these gloves have been a long time coming - I bought the yarn way back in 2011 to make a pair for her and a pair for her best friend. Oh well, better late than never! I hope there will be some yarn left over so I can treat myself to a new pair as well!Jodiebodiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11377052537742885631noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-703986833050265474.post-51089806638024627742015-08-27T12:47:42.233+09:302015-08-27T12:47:42.233+09:30Thanks Mary-Anne.

I do enjoy your wit and wordplay on your blog too.

These wristers don't get in the way.<br />So how big is your WIP pile now?
