I finished knitting these fingerless mitts at Christmas but keep forgetting to photograph them. They are starting to look a bit scruffy, I must have worn them almost every day.
These were a quick easy knit and good value too at £3.65 for a pair of mitts.
I have been a big fan of fingerless gloves but I've not worn mittens since I was about eight! I love these though, great for when I am out with my camera, my fingers are free to hold the camera and then when I put it away I find myself curling my fingers up tightly inside the mitts just like when I was a small girl!
The yarn is a Regia sock yarn, Kaffe Fassett Mirage in Earth and I used just one ball. Its 75% wool 25% nylon which is warm as well as hard wearing and the colours are a nice mixture of browns, olive greens and bright blues.

I would like to try a pair of fingerless mitts sometime. I have a pair a friend from Shetland gave me and have been wearing them all winter as I seem to have lost my regular gloves. It'd be nice to make another pair.
I have nothing on my needles right now and it feels very strange. I must pick up some yarn from my sister and get another project going. In the mean time I'm doing a lot of hand sewing.
They're lovely, well done! I got a pair of fingerless mittens in the hebrides last summer. they really are most practical and make me happy too! :)
enjoy yours!
have a good day
