I have made many of these but not in Noro yarn. Wow! I'll have to do some of these. I was using 2 strands of Icelandic unspun and I remember that they were a bit on the small size but I can always use a larger gauge. Beautiful!

Wow! I love those mittens. I'll have to get the book and do some. I really like Silk Garden too.

Oh man are these mittens beautiful! You are the Noro queen. I knew I could count on you for inspiration for some errant balls of Noro I have laying around...now can we freeze time so I can take a break and knit some?!

I love these mittens in Noro, too! I have some Lamb's Pride left over from sweater I just finished; I think these mittens are calling to it.

I've got to knit a pair of these! They're especially lovely in variegated yarn. The pink thumb is the very picture of adorableness. Sigh!

I think we did!

Whoa, what fun! I thought the other ones were cool, but Mama, these are awesome. Kinda makes me wish there was even two weeks in Texas when we could wear those. Just beautiful.

Those are so nice. I can't decide if I like the solid color or the stripes better! When the page came up and I saw those mittens I just thought, "WOW!".
I'm with you on the little projects like mittens. Perfect for busy days.
