Suzies Stuff

a. They cover a pulse point, so they help keep you warm.
b. They look good peeking out from your jacket cuffs.
c. They only take a small amount of yarn.
d. They only take about an hour of your valuable time,

Therefore they make a economical and practical gift. Think stocking stuffer or office gift exchange.

These are my versions of this utilitarian little accessory.
