Oh, that is so cool!

I want to knit them too, but have done only the teensiest bit of color work - one hat to be exact. They are wonderful!!!

These are stunning. The bird...amazing. I can't wait to knit these up.
Posted by: Siri at December 6, 2007 02:59 AM
how DO you do that? they are sweet, cheery, and look so warm:: lovely!
Posted by: kelli ann at December 3, 2007 09:35 PM
Those are lovely!
Posted by: Em at December 3, 2007 01:19 PM
They are absolutely wonderful! Of course, I am partial to all things 'bird':)

I believe, these are the prettiest mittens I have ever seen! I want to make them.
I should probably make a pair for my daughter as well, because one of her favourite places is a park, where birds will eat out of your hand, if you stand very still.
Thank you for that wonderful pattern!

I LOVE these beauties!! The little bird is a darling touch and the pattern looks HARD! I've never done color knitting--so I'm SKEERED of it--but they're lovely to look at and one day, I SHALL do these!!

Another brilliant pattern, Kate!! And a belated happy birthday to Tadpole!
Posted by: Shelagh at December 2, 2007 10:09 PM
Those are amazing - especially the bird! You are so genius. I'll put my order in soon...
Posted by: Anne-Caroline at December 2, 2007 07:31 PM
wow! they are so beautiful. it definitely required a double-take before i saw the bird surprise, because i was already smitten with the snowflake on the palm!
Posted by: Katie at December 2, 2007 02:25 PM
That bird is so cool!
(Tell me, were you ever tempted to design matching gloves and put the bird elsewhere? Just wondrin' ;-))
Posted by: Lee Ann at December 2, 2007 12:00 PM
Oh, Kate, they're BRILLIANT!
Posted by: Norma at December 2, 2007 11:36 AM
Too cute to pass up - bought and downloaded and printed out! I'm in a mittens phase, so these fill the bill -- heh-heh. They'll make a perfect gift for a birder friend.
Posted by: Karen K. at December 1, 2007 07:32 PM
These mittens bring me so much JOY! I'm smiling from ear to ear; they're just so SWEET!
Thanks for creating these; I haven't been so excited to make mittens ever before...

Being a mom and constantly needing my fingers free, I find that mittens aren't really practical for me. HOWEVER, I LOVE THESE!!! The flowers are so pretty and the little bird on the thumb makes them so unique!
Posted by: Heather at December 1, 2007 11:30 AM
Already bought and downloaded, just love them, they are so cute.
Posted by: Kate at December 1, 2007 10:25 AM
they're gorgeous, Kate! My favorite part is the palm. :) I am surprised that they are worsted weight!
Posted by: jess at December 1, 2007 01:35 AM
Kate, they are lovely and that little bird...perfect! These are top on my list of to do's very soon!
Posted by: Kim at November 30, 2007 11:36 PM
Omg that is flipping AWESOME. I love them!
Posted by: bellamoden at November 30, 2007 10:26 PM
Perfect! And a lovely surprise on the thumb!
Posted by: Manise at November 30, 2007 10:08 PM
I can't wait to knit these... now to find the perfect color combo, hmmm :)
Posted by: Alice at November 30, 2007 08:31 PM
I made my first pair of two color mittens this week. Starting these tonight. Love them!
Posted by: Vikki at November 30, 2007 07:33 PM
Wow. I don't even like mittens. I am a glove girl. Those make me want to knit mittens. Those are awesome!!!
Posted by: Mollie Manion at November 30, 2007 05:43 PM
Just wonderful.
Posted by: susan at November 30, 2007 05:39 PM

Posted by: cori w at November 30, 2007 02:44 PM
Kate, these are beyond wonderful. They are just magnificent and I love all the little details. The flower on the palm is surprise enough but the bird on the thumb is brilliant.
Posted by: Marnie at November 30, 2007 02:04 PM
Kate,
These are so charming! The little blossom on the palm. So sweet.
Posted by: Jessica at November 30, 2007 01:19 PM
clever. oh so clever. The bird on the thumb is just perfect.
Just got my copy. I will start these as soon as my Christmas knitting is done.
Posted by: Aimee at November 30, 2007 01:16 PM

Those are beyond darling.
Posted by: regina at November 30, 2007 12:42 PM
so sweetly done! and "bird in the hand" is too perfect.
Posted by: Karen B. at November 30, 2007 12:41 PM
That little bird is maybe the cutest thing I've ever seen. When I get past my fear of two-color knitting, I'll be back. :)
Posted by: Christina at November 30, 2007 12:36 PM
Absolutely beautiful!!! And what a neat surprise.
Such a happy pair of mittens that I think we all need a pair. I'll be making them this winter for sure. Thanks for such a great pattern.
Posted by: Linda B. at November 30, 2007 12:31 PM
Absol-freaking adorable, Kate. I love the photography set up too of the mitten in the pine cone ring. Very evocative of holidays and winter. Congrats!
Posted by: connie at November 30, 2007 12:28 PM
Oh, these are wonderful! The detailing is so lovely!
Posted by: WiscJennyAnn at November 30, 2007 12:06 PM
So pretty! If I were capable of stranded knitting...
Posted by: miss ewe at November 30, 2007 11:48 AM
Those mittens are great! Another pattern to add to my project list... ;)
Posted by: Katy at November 30, 2007 11:47 AM
Oooooh, I love them even more now that you've revealed the other side. I'm going to buy the pattern right this second. Thank you, thank you!
