| Lace border on the "sock" sleeve extender |

| Used quite a long sock for the sleeve extender |
I stitched up some lacy sleeve cuff extenders recently to keep my wrists warm over the winter. These were made out of old socks that I cut the feet off from and then just quickly stitched on a lace border, stretching the sock as I sewed the border on. There was no need to stitch the top as the sock top is sufficient. I just wear these on my lower arms, especially when the sleeves of the sweater don't reach all the way to my wrist (as I have long arms). And they can make a dumpy sweater look a little more interesting! I made a pair of these and am quite happy with this reuse of a pair of old socks and some left-over lace border! I just slip them on when I think my wrists might get chilly!
