Welcome to today's obsession

by Erika Jurney on November 20, 2008

As you will see, I have a bit of a problem when it comes to the subject of fingerless gloves, wrist warmers, mittenettes, handwarmers or gauntlets. Whatever you call them, my Etsy favorites list is full to the brim with them. Allow me to show you the best I’ve found in the hope that it will keep me from buying up each and every pair myself!

$32 by Chez Plum.

$34 by Coquelicot Salon.

$32 by Jeannie Knits. These need to come live in my coat pockets.

$35 by While They Play.

$65 (mmm, cashmere!) by Adventures of Jessica Rose. (I have room in my pockets for these too!)

I love them all. Which pair(s) spoke to your taste?

2 Erika Jurney December 2, 2008 at 4:02 pm: It’s a real problem — I may end up with about 40 pairs, and living in California it seems a tad excessive…
3 Michelle December 2, 2008 at 5:41 pm: Since I live in the snowy Midwest, I’ll need one for every jacket and coat, right?

5 Michelle December 11, 2008 at 3:29 pm: Well, I just got my first pair today in the mail – I don’t think they’ll be my last either!

7 Erika Jurney December 14, 2008 at 5:25 pm: Nice! After Christmas I’m going to grab the purple and green ones from Jeannie Knits — can’t wait!
8 Michelle December 14, 2008 at 4:38 pm: Well I bought two pairs from Coquelicot Salon on etsy – one for me, one for a friend. http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5553029
I bought three pairs as gifts from Mia Baggalia on etsy – http://www.etsy.com/shop.php?user_id=5215636
And I bought two pairs yesterday at a craft show from a Fair Trade store – one for me, one as a gift.
I don’t feel like I’m done yet!
