This is such a great pattern.

Fast. Easy. Warm.

  2. They look so warm and cosy! I've been thinking about making some of these for myself, as my hands get quite cold even indoors. I'll be checking out the pattern directly.

  6. Love the mitts. Wish I could make something like that. Iam only gifted to cross-stitch and that is NOT a bad thing. Everyone seems to be in the Christmas spirit already! I love It. :)

  7. How very nice Staci :o)
    I make bags of Caramel Corn for all of our teachers, so I know the work that goes into homemade gifts, but every year the teachers know that I do this and they look forward to it :) That's what counts!

  10. Wow, they're wonderful. You will make lots of people happy with these lovely hand-made gifts. Do you have a 'Super Elf' T-shirt? ;-)

  12. Wow- how do you do it?? You are like the elf from Rumplestiltskin weaving straw into gold!!! The mitts are great. I had the same question as Annie - when do people wear these? I have thought about it for some time and it's so cold here already, I can't imagine not covering my fingers.
    What else is going on in the shop??

  15. Oh Staci, what wonderful gifts! I love fingerless gloves, but I think these fingerless mittens will be even more functional! Thanks for the link to the pattern and a "new" site that I'll visit again.
