Okay, I am loving these. I can make a pair in about 2 hours, start to finish with all ends woven in and on my hands. If you know me at all you would know that I am ALWAYS cold. We're talking on a beautiful summer day I am sitting on the beach and a breeze blows, that's it I get a chill. I love to get in my car and it is burning hot inside and just be. AHHHHHH, the heat feels so good.
Now my kids they're another story. I don't know if it is because they are boys or they are just very hot blooded, but they are ALWAYS warm. They never have shoes or socks on. They wear shorts in the dead of winter. Okay, stop laughing, I live in San Diego and the dead of winter only gets to about 45 and that's at night or early am.
So these little fingerless mitts are not only cute, but functional. You can stay warm and still type on your computer or answer your cell phone with no problem at all. I bought the pattern from leethal knits blog/shop. She has some great handpainted yarn and some really cute patterns. I am on my second pair in two days. Can you believe it?! I also bought some of her handpainted/recycled yarn for yet another pair of mitts. She calls them ninja mitts. How funny is that?!!
I am posting this at work and have no pictures until I get home. I will post the pictures later of my first pair. I have been on Ravelry checking all kinds of fingerless glove patterns and I have quite a few to choose from.
And so you are not bored, I will leave you with a picture of yours truly....HA!! You like the glasses? I don't. I don't even like wearing them, but if you want to see ANYTHING, you'll want to wear glasses!!
