Fingerless mittens

When I decided that I was going to post every day until Christmas Eve, I acted on a whim and did not think in advance too much (sometimes when you think too much, you end up not doing at all...). I scribbled down few things I knew I had and could show to you but then for the rest I thought that I would figure out when the time comes... I have enjoyed getting back to posting and have loved reading you comments.
I still have not counted what knits I have remaining that you haven't seen, but we'll find out. Here are two different mittens (some of you might have already seen thse) but the pattern is the same.
First I thought that I would stretch this over two days, but here you go...  (If I run out of knits, you will get lots of dog pictures in the end. ;-)  Ruusu said that she is more than happy to pose for the final pictures!)
My pattern
Yarn Cataluna, needles 2,75mm
Here the same pattern but yarn Lima by Hjertegarn.

Wool with you,
Lene

    I love the style and t h e pompom. A small question the finger part is it knitted 2 times the lenght we see and folded them. Thanks. deborah

  2. Lovely mitts - and perfect way to photograph them. Makes my hands feel warmer just looking at them.
    I doubt you'll run out of knits, Lene, but if you do I always enjoy your dog pictures too!

    I'm so happy you are posting every, single day! Some of the other blogs are VERY sparse this season. I'm sure every household is up to it's eyeballs in preparation. I appreciated your dedication. Thank you, thank you!
    P.S. These mitts are so cute.

  4. These are quite lovely -- beautiful, practical, and warm-looking. Thank you for sharing your knits. It doesn't even matter if we've seen them before; they're so nice they're worth seeing twice!

    You have made my holiday season extra special, Lene. Thank you so much for blogging daily this month and I hope to read much more about your beautiful projects next year, as well. Since reading your blog from the beginning, I have found that I have a very similar mindset as you do toward my handmade pursuits so I am always happy to read what you have tried and how you have worked through the artistic, practical, and functional aspects of all of them. Thank you for a beautiful view of your Finnish world. Denise

  8. Although we don't have weather in my part of Texas that often calls for mittens, cold offices often bring out the fingerless mitts. These are beautiful, so simple. Next time I'm going to try a real thumb instead of a slit - yours are so elegant.

  9. I like them! They look like they are warm and stylish to wear. Share all the dog photos you want, I like seeing other people's canine buddies :-)
