Lacy Wrist Warmers
I made these lacy wrist warmers in December for my cousin's fiance. I thought it would be a nice gift to welcome her into the family. I hope she'll enjoy it! They are getting married this week in Buffalo New York. I am so excited for them!
The yarn I used for the wrist warmers was Lion Brand Sock Yarn. I really enjoyed working with this yarn. In the beginning the yarn doesn't feel soft but after you wash and dry it, it feels nice and soft! I also found the pattern on Simple Stitches by Val Pierce. This book is amazing! 
 
I made the wrist warmers but I also made the With Love tag. For the tag, I used paper from an old book then wrote the words with love on a white sheet of paper and finished it off by adding Martha Stewart Paper Tape. On the A tag, I used Martha Stewart Kraft Tags and put an A letter sticker.The tags turned out to be better than I expected! 
Last but not least I made a homemade card to go with the gift. I used blue and red paper from Creative Memories, Martha Stewart Kraft TagsMartha Stewart Paper Tape, letter sticker, and an Anthropologie envelope. All of the pictures were taken in California.
