A pair of fingerless mittens are all set for the holidays.  The pattern used was Susie's Reading Mitts that I found on Ravelry.  While my pattern was not exact, it was very easy to knit.  It was also was very fast.  That is the nice thing about those fingerless mittens.  The yarn I used was Berroco's Softwist.  It was hanging out in the stash just waiting for the perfect time of year to become something fabulous.  What I like about these for winter is you can make them nice and long to cover up any exposed skin.

These mittens are made up to give to friends this year.  I love playing elf.  Making the gifts and then giving them away.  It is the best part of the holidays!
