More handwarmers

The CSM started playing up on the ribber, much to my annoyance. So I then started to replicate the handwarmers on the Knitmaster. As there had to be a seam, I let this be the thumb seam, so it is a vertical hole. And no finishing off for the thumb. The handwarmers feel a lot softer as there are fewer stitches (approx 60) and looser tension. But I am still doing the sewn backstitch bind-off as it is so easy and makes its own neat tension without effort.

Well, it's January 1st. Annual stocktake of yarns isnlt going to happen this year, think I will try and make space for more books on my shelves...
