I found my mittens in the Youth section, where they cost less than the adult version and fit my hands well, too. They are totally wind and waterproof, which is great when playing out with my little grandsons. Earlier this winter, we "tested" our mittens by putting them in puddles of slush - and our hands stayed dry!

In addition, for Christmas my daughter gifted me with beautiful mittens made from felted sweaters and lined with fleece for walking - so now I have 2 great pairs, and can keep one in my car. My girls also crocheted me 2 alpaca hats - so soft, and not the least bit itchy - and made small enough to pull my hood over them. Now I just need a new neck/face warmer fleece - need to dig in my stash for the right thin, soft fleece...

That has to wait - next 3 days will be helping both daughters.
