MOTD: My haute couture mittens

These are indeed my very own pair of haute couture mittens.

The wool I used to make them for myself was the most expensive (why am I compelled to put an "est" on the end of that word?) wool I ever bought myself and I made them to measure my own hands.   Thus, they fully fulfill the HC criteria.
Check the midget thumb..I always get the piss taken out of me about it

They have a matching scarf which I have forgotten at work..in my desk drawer..you know what office thieves are like!

They're super soft, they feel like satin-y wool and are just as heavy duty as the ones already featured here.  I didn't follow a pattern for these really, I just knitted and measured against my hand and this is what became of them.

  1. They are GORGEOUS! They look so soft and cosy! I'm tempted to do a MOTD, as inspired by you, but not sure it counts as mine are 'glittens'?! xx

  3. These are great! I like the flects of colour amongst the black. I have poor knitting skills, I can only make a basic scarf although I never buy enough wool to finish it!
