Newbie wrist warmers

[Tanath]

Just some simple wrist warmers. I'm learning to crochet, but I don't like just making swatches of stuff that can't be used for anything later. So I looked around and found this super simple pattern:

Got some yarn from the craft store and worked, worked, worked.
This is the end result:

best shot I could get of both by myself, with the camera timer:



(took about one ball of this yarn for each)
And, since I tend to work super tight (not just with crochet), these are free standing 

(so they can double as pencil holders?)

I think I got some funny looks while taking these, it was 32C outside today (that's about 90F)

Anyway, this was a fun project, can't wait to start the next one, whatever it is.

Thats ok that it is much too warm. You will have them when the weather drops!

Good work, isn't having something you made awesome?

Nicely done and you have a good sense of humor!

Oh man, thank you!! I've been looking for AGES for a pattern for something like this! (I'm so new to crocheting it's ridiculous, haha). You've just made my day! Thank you.

They look lovely.

Thank you for the feedback everyone
rottenlittleboys - it is a great feeling to finish stuff. The day after I finished them I took them to the office to brag, and wore them most of the day.
Meli - glad I could help. If there is one thing I'm not a newbie in is finding things online, Google is a good friend of mine  . One thing I found that helped me a lot so far is videos showing the really basic stuff.
