Like millions of people, I love using my i-phone. It is just so much fun. However, when it's cold outside and you have gloves on - the touch screen is no longer responsive to your fingers because of the gloves. By the time I would answer the phone, I would have missed the call. Also, I had to rip off my gloves in a tizzy and then my hands would freeze - all this was just driving me nuts.
So, I came up with the perfect solution - fingerless mittens! Although these mittens dont keep the hands super duper warm - like I wouldnt go snow-shoeing in these mittens - they are mighty useful on a daily basis AND they look pretty cool.
I found this super simple pattern online. This was like my second project - so it's wonderful if you are a beginner. I used louet gems sport weight yarn - which I absolutely adore! I ended up using it for my lelah top as well. This is damn fine 100% merino. But since it is a quick project it doesnt need more than 1 skein of yarn. I really like my gloves. Although they are simple - they are functional and all my iphone touching with gloves on woes are gone!

ReplyDeleteThank you Julie! I have definitely been using them a lot! They are really simple though - I feel like I need to make myself more fingerless mittens with some more complicated patterns!
