For those of you who don’t know, On My Desk is supposed to be a Wednesday thing. But I notoriously participate a day late every week (or every other week). My apologies to kootoyoo.
Honestly, my desk and work area are scaring me, so I daren’t show you everything. Instead, here is a little pile of things I’ve been working on this week:
Another pair of flannel pajama pants for Emily, a pair of lacy wrist-warmers from Purl, some other wintery accessory on the needles, and a pattern from Posie that I’m considering for one of these.
All last winter, I wanted to make a set of wrist warmers, but the honest truth is that I was scared of dpns (double-pointed needles). They kind of remind me of this guy. When I saw this pattern though, I got over my fear and just went for it.
Mine are a little wonky, but I think the lace pattern is very forgiving.
It looks like my wrist is in some weird cast, doesn’t it? Maybe it’s the way I posed my fingers. Awkward ballet fingers. Hm. Anyway, I’m not gonna care what they look like when my hands are warm and happy this winter! :)

I’ve sent the link to the wrist warmers to my knitting mother in law. I would love to make these but I’m not sure I get past my scarf stage of knitting. Beautiful job.
