\"\"<\/a>I’ve been meaning to purchase a set of wrist warmers for a couple winters now. I browse on Etsy and see sets I like and then never pull the trigger. This week I was browsing around again (when my hands were cold, of course) and realized I could make my own. I know enough about crocheting that I could muddle through a simple pattern. Like Annie Oakley, I shot over to the Etsy search and found a pattern for the warmers.
\n
\nThis is a big step for me. Not because it will be difficult or challenging, but because I never make anything that’s not related to RiverDog Prints. Since I started doing my business full-time, I have stopped being creative in almost all other pursuits. I haven’t shown my house any real decorating love in about four years. I cook all the time, but the creativity lives only in not measuring anything. I’m hoping that these little wrist warmers are a pathway into being creative throughout my life as a whole.
