Ten on Tuesday: Warm Hands Edition

I’m in the throes of holiday knitting, and all I can think about is stranded mittens. Luckily Carole asked for Ten Mittens I Want to Knit, which gives me a good excuse to daydream a bit.

1. Herdsman Mittens. Neal wants mittens for the walking portion of his daily commute. I set him up on Ravelry to pick a pattern, and these were his top pick. I’m going to line them in something deliriously soft.

2. Rock + Purl Mystery KAL. Gloves, not mittens, but I’m casting on this week–for me!

3. L’Oreal’s Fingerless Mitts. I bought this pattern and some super beautiful cashmere at Rhinebeck. These will be for me, too.

3. Bella’s Mittens. I knit a pair a few years back for one of my nieces. I had the hardest time giving them up, and I would love to knit another pair in bright red.

4. Cloisonée. I want to look back on my pictures from last year’s visit to Sainte Chapelle for color inspiration.

5. Willistead by the super duper talented SpillyJane. I love so many of her designs, but this one seems extra special to me.

6. Verspergyle Mittens. These have been on my queue for far too long. I want them on my needles!

7. Vinterblomster Mittens. Aren’t they adorable?

8. Mad Men Mittens. They remind me of mittens from my childhood.

9. Postwar Mittens. I think these could be a delight to knit and wear.

10. Horatio and Oren. I just need to find someone who is nutty about owls to give them to!

What do you want to make to keep your hands warm?
