With that half skein of Patons Classic Wool blue denim yarn left-over from the last pair of gloves I made, I figured I'd try out a different pattern. These are made from the Honeycomb Wristwarmer pattern. I love them! They are a bit longer than the Fetching pattern and very warm. The thumb gusset fits just right! They worked up really fast too. The honeycomb pattern is an alternating knit one, slip one stitch so you really reduce the number of stitches from stockinette, say, by 25% if you consider the slipped stitch as 1/2 a stitch. Plus the body of the glove is all stockinette so no referring to a pattern constantly and no pesky cables! The thumb didn't require any extras stitches to be picked up and knit so no big holes to worry about either.
The color is more true to life in these photos:

The Valentine card is so cute!! Great job on the wristwarmers. Projects like this make me wish I could knit.
I've always loved that funny little bird with his long, spindly legs! Your card turned out very nicely. Do you make the cards themselves, Annie, or use pre-made ones?
Very pretty wristwarmers, too--I do love that shade of blue (any blue for that matter!).

That is one of the cutest Valentine designs I've ever seen! And your stitching is perfect as usual :-) It reminds me to get on with a Valentine biscornu I'm working on for the Stitchin Fingers Valentine swap.
Your mittens/gloves look great - from what we've heard about your weather, you'll be needing them!
