Fingerless Mitts

Inspired by something a friend showed me, I decided that I would make up some fingerless mitts for my Etsy store.
Not just any fingerless mitts, though, animal fingerless mitts.  These four pairs are destined to become owls.  I decided that I'd make each animal in batches, so that when I sat down to do the eyes and other details, I could do them all at once.  I'm hoping to have them finished by Friday, but we'll see how motivated I am.  I've wanted to make a pair of fingerless mitts for me for awhile, but I haven't gotten around to it yet, so it was nice to finally have an excuse to make some.  I'm using Lion Brand Wool-Ease yarn.  There really isn't a pattern for these gloves exactly how I made them.  I simply read through a couple of existing patterns and pulled the aspects that I liked from each one.

Be sure to visit Tami's Amis for more WIP Wednesday fun!

I want to put a pair of those on right now, they look really cozy and nice! And I hope they're done by Friday, because as much as I already like them, jalskdf;j owl mitts. I can't wait to see how your amazing design skills are going to work on that transformation. :D
