Bit of handspun yarn makes two rectangles that are sewn together on the side (leave a bit out for the thumb). Easy and quick. Mine are garter stitch, since they are not in the round and I'm not too fond of purling.

Fingerless
Don't we all need a pair?

Mittens
I'm so happy with these! It is being useasonably cold this year and these are extremely warm and fit well.
I did a mash up of few different charts from this book, which is well worth buing if you are into latvian mittens. The amount of charts and patterns is incredible and techniques (like the latvian braid, different cast-ons) are explained really well.
The yarn is traditional colourwork shetland yarn by Jamieson&Smith. It is not the softest but on the upside it will probably wear well. I'd like to try my new Blue Faced DK yarn for another pair.
Keep warm and knit on!
