Finally, something finished!

Remember the yarn I showed you in this post? I have turned about half of one skein into these:
The pattern is the Rona Cuffs (Ravelry link), and the yarn is, as mentioned, from Missouri Alpacas. Both the yarn and the pattern were a dream to work with, but the real love is saved for the cuffs themselves.
I am absolutely in love with these cuffs. I love the way the edging resembles Gothic architecture, I love the yarn, I love how warm they keep my wrists. Usually I wear them over a pair of driving gloves, which makes the whole thing function better, but they also do well to bridge the gap between sleeve and pocket while walking.
I am trying to decide what to do with the remaining skein and a half of yarn. I could, possibly, be able to make a cowl that has the same edging, but only on one end. My grafting skills are not up to making it on both edges. I might be able to work something similar for the other end, but it would pretty much always be tucked inside a coat and wouldn't matter as much. If I ever figure it out, I will let you all know.
