Well the confusion on the pattern was all me-the second one flew off the needles!
I wore them for sleep last night;
wow, my hands feel so limber this morning instead of stiff and awkward!
It's lovely to have them be warmed by the light wool!
These will be going in the dyepot for a warm, chocolaty brown!
The designer wanted a pair of mitts that echoed the small leather mitts worn by bikers;
I think she nailed it!

ReplyDeleteOh my gosh. They are wonderful. WOW you are going to dye them ? Can't wait to see them as brown!
ReplyDeleteSo, now really do have delighted hands!
ReplyDeleteThose are cute. Share your dying process with us.
They are lovely. It is chilly out so you should get some good wear out of them. Enjoy!
ReplyDeleteGlad they helped your hands during the night. No doubt, they'd on the floor or across the room if I tried to sleep with them.
ReplyDeleteThey look great!
