They are the perfect little gift for anyone. I do them in the round too but I added a little ribbing on the thumb gusset to hold them a little closer on the thumb.

Thanks for the pattern suggestion, as I haven't any for myself any longer and need to whip up a pair. What a great blend of colors too, you really can't see the purple til you get that close-up view and they all blend into a lovely coppery red. Great fit!

Did you beat the crap out of it? It looks divine, and you know I love the colour. Wet finishing for merino, very good idea. Did you beat the crap out of it?

The orange even gets past my filter. Going to look for Copper Pot pix. My current mittlets are not half as cute. Beautiful! The orange even gets past my filter. Going to look for Copper Pot pix.

They don't look odd at all, not even just lying there. I love the way the colors came out, and the spinning looks so even! And that Hot Rocks colorway... immediately made me think of lava.

Add a bit of creativity and it becomes very special each time. The process is kind of magic by itself. Add a bit of creativity and it becomes very special each time.
