2 Little Kittens have lost their mittens

How know if you are both overly lazy and overly crafty? When you find yourself halfway through winter with 3 mismatched kids' gloves and you can't be bothered to shop to replace them, so you sit down to make some new ones.

I can't bear to face the hunt for winter accessories in a retail world that is already unloading swimsuits. It's painful to think about.

Here is the pattern I was given by the local Crochet Guild just picked bits of mystery yarn that vaguely match the kids' coats. One red pair and one variegated pink pair. Well, by pair I mean balls of yarn, one of which is attached to a partial cuff already.
