I think I'm done hiding in the bedroom though. I've discovered that The Terror is more goofy than terrifying, and he doesn't bother me anymore since Osiris let him know who's boss. The Animator's Wife's crochet projects seem to confuse him, though. He met Monterey the other day, and I think he had quite a difficult time trying to figure out if it was alive or not.

So nice! I added them to the Ravelry database right away: http://www.ravelry.com/patterns/library/charmed-wrist-warmers
I forgot to check off that they were free and available online, so perhaps The Animator's Wife could fix that? :D
Wow--you are super fast! Thanks for your help! I almost forgot about Ravelry for this one. ;)
Gorgeous! They just jumped right to the front of my queue. :)
Wonderful pattern. Just what I need for Christmas gifts. Thanks.

Excellent pattern, except I'm confused about a few parts.
Row 1 - Am I not doing the tr off a chain? Where are the tr's going?? I've never done a pattern where I didn't do a chain first to do all the first stitches off of. What I did is tr off the bottom loop of the last tr, is this correct?
Rows 3-6 - When I repeat Row 2 in 3-6, I end up with 23 stitches in the last row, not 27. Am I missing something?
Row 7 - I don't get "Ch 3; turn (beg ch-3 does not count as tr). Skip first tr, dec 1 tr in next 2 tr," So, I ch 3, skip first tr, so...do I do like in Row 2 and do 2 tr in the second tr from Row 6? I'm confused...
Let's see if I can answer all your questions. ^_^
Row 1 - Start with 5 chains. The last 4 chains count as a tr. Work the remaining 6 tr in the first chain. Make sense?
Rows 3-6. Don't forget to count the turning chains as a treble! At the end, the 3 tr should be worked in the turning chain, since that is counted as a treble.
Row 7. You are actually doing the opposite as Row 2. You want to work 2 tr together in the second two tr of Row 6. Here is a tutorial on how to do a tr decrease: http://www.nexstitch.com/v_treble_crochet_dec.html
Hope that helps!
