Elm Leaves Knitted cuffs

IMG_3214
I started on these a few times but none of the yarns I picked I liked the way they looked.  One was a variegated gray black sock yarn, another was size 10 cotton thread then this last one was a lace weight  Patons lace (2) bought on clearance 80% acrylic 10% mohair and 10 % wool.  I like it just fine machine wash lay flat to dry.  Makes it simple to take care of too.  It is I just never really like working with  fuzzy yarn as it is so hard to frog if you make a mistake.  The pattern is elm leaves it was a gift to me from a reader who liked my blog was so sweet I have a few more gifts like this to make but I am behind in life in general so please do not think I am not grateful for the gifts I do plan on making everyone I have eve gotten.  It was hard to take  a good photo of this project for some reason the colors never came out right in my photos it is a pale lavender in real life called arctic plum.  first photo seems to be the closest but still not true to color
