Will bribing you with mitten patterns inspire you to visit Knitsmiths? I have quite a few great ones; but be warned! I find mittens more addicting than socks because they work up so fast. I'm all about that instant gratification!Dava [davamunn@rcn.com]

Love the goat picture! Rather Rastafarian looking, isn't he? And they are very sweet natured animals too. This is one of the major reasons my husband refuses to move out of the city. He knows I would replace our lawnmower with these guys.Alissa [alissa@knittingfairy.com]

Eww Kim!! Peeled eyes? It's not Halloween yet, you know!

I feel the love Sandy, and you should pop back over and feel the love of today's post. ;) Tempting? Hehe.Daphne

Hey chickie! I'll sure keep my eyes peeled for mitten patterns. Have a great Thursday--the weekend is just around the corner.Kim [gibknits@earthlink.net]

I learned mittens from the Big Book of knitting. Well, it isn't really a pattern so much as a guideline of how they are made. I found it really helpful in adapting any type of yarn you have into successful mittens.

I personally love mittens instead of gloves. Good luck!marney [marnita@att.net]

The Knitter's Handy Book of Patterns by Ann Budd is fantastic--multiple sizes, gauges...use any yarn--it gives a very basic pattern for mittens, gloves, socks, vests, sweaters, hats....plus a few tips 'n' suchLeigh [leighespencer@hotmail.com]

Hey Sandy Sue, how do you know that is a goat? I can't tell if it is a dog, sheep or small elephant! It could just be a dog dressed up in a mop for Halloween!!Chris [chrisknits@insightbb.com]
