Was I knitting obsessively all day, or were these just an ultra quick knit?
Probably a bit of both! I cast on for the first fingerless mitt at about 2 pm yesterday and sewed in the last end of the second mitt at the stroke of midnight. Somewhere in there I did make supper and clean up afterward, but yeah, I knit most of the afternoon and evening.
Still, that seemed a very quick project.
I knit these up in my own chain plyed handspun. The halfbred top in the "black allsorts" colourway was purchased from
Aurelia Wool and Weaving. The fingerless mitt pattern is "
Suzie's Reading Mitts".

Those are so pretty. I can't believe you made them in one day, I take so long with those, just like socks. I hope you enjoy them this winter.
Very nice! I bet those are comfortable to wear. I wish my 'obsessive knit in one day' would hit me to make a neck warmer..which I really could, but I'm trying to get other much older projects done! Like your blue spinning.
Checking out your older posts and love these and the yarn! I live in Key West but make gloves, scarves, hats etc for family still in Toronto & Ottawa. Love a quick knit - love it all.
Thanks forensa. These fingerless mitts are still around and still occasionally used. I must admit though, I'm not a big fan of fingerless mitts. The very first part of me to get cold is the tips of my fingers! What good then a mitt that leaves that part exposed but keeps heat in what is quite warm enough already?
