Well, as I left my Voodoo Wristwarmers in OlyWa, I needed to start on some longer wristlet/mitts and decided to use two different yarns from my stash, a medium grey and a marled blue/blackish both worsted weight. Cast on 44 stitches in K2P2 rib and went round n round till the first one seemed long enough… Alternating every two rows to form horizontal stripes

knit in a 5 stitch place holding string for the thumb, and then continued on to the base of my little finger. put most of the ribbing on a string, saved out ten stitches, cast on four, then decreased the four to two, for a total of twelve and knitted up the little finger in stockinette until it was long enough c/o in purl

Went back and decided to knit up the thumb, as trying on the wristlet without a thumb hole is difficult. Am knitting that one over 15 st, same stockinette stripe

added in the fingers one at a time, extending the body ribbing as needed to cover my palm, which explains the somewhat wonky looking but perfectly fitting glove portion of this project. All the finger and thumb extensions are knitted stockinette stitch instead of ribbing, and the ends are cast off in purl…
