Wow! Michele’s mittens are gorgeous!

The pattern is complex; but, proven & optimized. The embellishment is in harmony with the silhouette, design, pattern, and fabric selections.

An excellent job, indeed. And, I agree with Big Irv, they are saleable and producible. Get thee to a boutique and a contractor, lady!

Both pairs of mittens look warm and comfortable. If I were caught in a snowstorm, Patricia, I’d want to have yours to see me through.
Michele, your mitts look like they should have belonged to Queen Elizabeth I! I’m thrilled to hear you are from the prairies:-) So were my parents and about fifty cousins. You reinforce my theory that prairie life develops ingenuity and creativity. Kudos on your beautiful, practical mitts. I, too, think you should consider producing them in tiny quantities, at an appropriate breath-taking price point. I’d love to see a pic with your Lundstrom-style coat. Thank you for the wonderful inspiration.

I Agree!
The first thing I thought of was the Hollywood type ski areas out west (U.S.) where beautiful people like Jennifer Lopez and the Trumps vacation and attend those film festivals. I say get started on your ski area boutique list and warm up that Brother sewing machine.

Beautiful work Michele!

I can almost guarantee that the pair of black embroidered “mittens” shown by Michele will somehow find their way into someone’s line debuting at SIA OR NSIA (Snow Industry Associations). And they will be accompanied with a style # with a descriptive referring to Queen Elizabeth gifting them to her lady in waiting.

Those are one awesome pair of mittens.They would go with any nice outfit in Gstaad or Chamonix. Very royal. And very saleable too.
