Morisot said... Your mitten/gloves look beautifully made. I made these also and found what you experienced--they are a bit tight. I do find myself grabbing them when I am going out in the winter to take photographs--it is nice to be able to flip the mitten flap back and have bare finger tips to manipulate my camera. The fleece is not super warm though. (and I almost think it is easier to make a suit than it is to make gloves!) 2/15/11 12:27 PM
