Mittens and gloves keep fingers and hands warm and socks keep feet warm and dry. Taking care of the tips of our extremities here. Thanks so much Yvonne for this wonderful donation, we certainly appreciate it. The personal care items are also great.Folks these mittens are so nicely made, soft and warm. Yvonne included a note for us (you know how I'm always wondering what pattern someone used), she used Bev's "The Mitts" pattern and the bright pink wrist warmers/fingerless gloves (I really never know what to call them or what's more accurate) are from a pattern on Ravelry called "Easy Fingerless Mitts" by Roxanne R. Richardson. Thanks Yvonne for including that info, I'm sure I'm not the only one who appreciates it.

I think warm hands and feet go further to keep people warm than sometimes even a coat. If my feet are cold, I can. NOT. get. warm! Great donation and thanks for including the pattern info!
ReplyDeleteI tend to use "fingerless gloves" if the item has a thumb hole and "wrist warmers" if it does not. Not sure if that's what other people use but that's me. :)
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful donation!!! I cannot stand for my feet to be cold either!! I know whoever receives these donations, will be blessed by your generosity.
ReplyDeleteLove this thoughtful donation, Yvonne! I especially love those little blue mittens! Some little guy is going to be SO HAPPY to have those to keep his hands warm!
