Mitts on Demand

My mother used to always say that she couldn't see the point of the fingerless mittens and gloves that I was knitting. "How could they possibly do anything to keep your hands warm with your fingers sticking out like that?" ...until one day a couple of years ago when she was complaining about her perpetually freezing hands and I made her put on a pair of my fingerless mittens to try. I never got that pair back. Oh well. I was never very fond of those mitts, anyway.

Now, having been converted to believe in the power of the fingerless mitt/glove, Mom is constantly jumping in to sing their praises any time she hears one of her friends complain about cold hands. And then she asks me to make said friend a pair. It was happening so frequently that I made a stash of them to keep on hand. When she came to me with another request recently, I went to retrieve my stash of pre-made mitts and could not find them, so I made this pair for her to give to her friend, Rachel. Of course, a few weeks later I found the stash of mitts that I had assumed had been depleted.

Thanks for looking!
