I was half joking HB, I know it's what people do.

No worries - I would if I could. I use 4ply/fingering for mitts

I don't know if I have any, except for a whirl. Next purchase I think.

I guess it depends how thick you want them. Knit them in 4 ply and they’ll be as thin as socks. A bit thicker with crochet. DK would still give you something cost without being too chunky.

HellsBells can you point towards a pattern or did you design them yourself?

I've crocheted a few pairs of mitts and prefer thinner yarn, and something as soft as possible because I find my hands get very itchy with sock wool; even if it feels superficially fine it's a different matter if you're wearing them for a long time.

My hairdresser admired my Hitchhiker scarf, so I knitted him one for Christmas, now his Mum (also a hairdresser) and one of her clients want one. It might be a good stash-busting project.

Lovely mitts HB! I've never tried doing the folded over cuff thing, but my right wrist does get cold holding a mouse all day, I might try that!

Already posted on FB, but here's a couple of cardigans I started in Jan 19...and finished yesterday.



I'm grateful the kids haven't grown in the meantime. And they both wore them today, so I'm happy!
