Irish Hiking Wrist Warmers

My first knitting project after many years!

I made these wrist warmers. Took me about 8 hours to make the pair.

I saw the wrist warmers while randomly surfing the net and deciding i wanted to make them right away...and I used old yarn i've had around for about 8 years. lol!

Here's the pattern I used.

Now i want to make another set, with less bulky yarn. Not that this yarn was that bulky. I really like this one but it's knitting in the round, which i've never done before - and which means that i'd have to buy either double-ended needles or needles with the connecting wire.
