I finished making the Knitty Fetching wristbands last week. They are a gift for my friend’s birthday. I was originally going to use KP Andrean Silk, but it didn’t get here in time so I used the recommended Debbie Bliss Cashmerino aran. I’m glad I did; this stuff is luscious! I can’t remember the name of the color but it’s a lovely orangey red that photographs horribly.
In terms of project notes I did this using magic loop and I didn’t do the picot bind off. I gave them to Sue last night and she loved them. I bought another ball of cashmerino in blue to make some for an expecting friend and some tahki new tweed in brown to make them for myself.
Here’s how they look on so you can see the ribbing in action

Neat! I just finished them with Brown Sheep Cotton Fleece, in a lavendery colour, for our early morning bike rides. I was wondering how they would look without the picot bind off, as the male members of the family aren’t that keen on the ruffly knuckles.
Thanks. I thought the picot bind off looked really messy, I much prefer the normal bindoff.
They look fantastic! I did mine with the picot bind off and agree that they are overly frilly. I also had a little wipe-out with the thumb, but I do love this pattern and the directions don’t lie, it is a super-fast project!
