These are WAY better than the first brown mittens I made when I was first learning to knit back in late summer.
I thought about trying to do a UPS shield on them… but I think I’ll save that for the next pair.

GREAT job!! What yarn did you use? I only ask because I had to lightly felt the mittens I made to stop the wind from getting through them…something you might wanna think about if they are a natural fiber. I just sent mine through the wash on WARM (hot would’ve felted them TOO much) and they are PERFECT.
GREAT JOB. What pattern did you use?
Nice job!!
Those look warm - great job!
Thos look fantastic!
those look really awesome!!
i love mittens.
The yarn is Patons classic wool like the first pair I made which matted up a little bit, but I only hand washed them. I know what you mean Kelly about the holes letting the wind go through, but if they’re too thick I can’t hold the truck keys and it’s a baaaaaad feeling when you drop the keys in the snow. :shock:
The pattern uses “Easy Warm Mittens” from www.hjsstudio.com/p-mitt.html but I’ve modified the pattern slightly to my own liking.
As much as I’d like to try them out, I hope the temp doesn’t drop!
Those are really cute, Marni!!
Nice work!
The mittens look great!! I will have to show those to my husband- he used to work pre-load at UPS. I now have a new respect for all who work there…
Cute!
Funny how that is! My co-workers (97% male) all think I’m I’m a little strange to knit my own work mittens. After 15 years, they are beginning to realize that I’m a little weird in a Martha Stewart kind of way.
