English Garden Heart Handwarmers

These Handwarmers were knit from an extra skein (that I saved for myself), of English Garden
Merino/Silk fiber. I had bought 1 lb of this fiber and spun of 6 skeins that I listed on my website www.spinningginny.com and also on http://www.etsy.com/shop/spinningginnys. I had enough left over to make a small skein for myself to knit up this pair of handwarmers with.
This skein was 224 yds, 44 grams. When knitting the first handwarmer, I decided to add a small heart to the back of the handwarmer for an added touch. Because there is silk in this fiber it give the handwarmer a little added sheen.
When taking this picture I didn't realize I had left my stitch marker attached to the cuff. You can see it sort of peeking out from under my wrist. LOL This was the first handwarmer and I'm almost finished with the mate.
