For you...
So I’ve been off in a world of my own lately. Granted it’s a very nice world with lots of yarn and hot cocoa and an imaginary Gregory Peck* rubbing my feet, but it’s about time to snap back to the Land of Blog before you think that I’ve gone and pulled a lonely-tourist-Charlotte-Charles on you. Hi there. Not dead! Just changing seasonal gears and getting my cold-weather knit on and working on that gift I promised you.
You may have noticed that making presents is one of my favorite ways of showing affection and expressing appreciation. Which is to say...I think you guys are the nicest bunch of blogreaders on the planet. Here, have a prezzie:
I'd like to give the world a Pom.
Download your very own copy here**. I've proofread the pattern about 10 bajillion times, but do let me know if there are any errors I've missed, and send me pics if you make a pair!
Hugs and Keeses,
Elli
*Roman Holiday-era Gregory Peck, please.

That mitten pattern is awesome, and perfect for approaching Chrimbol Hols. I'm picturing an orange and red pair.
Gregory Peck was obscenely gorgeous, and that voice! I had completely inappropriate thoughts about him for the entirety of To Kill a Mockingbird. King of the, er, Dilfs!

Gregory Peck in Roman Holiday was one of my first movie-star crushes. And I wanted my hair to look like Audrey Hepburns (that just isnt happening...)
Thanks for the pattern - it looks gorgeous, and just in time for holiday gift knitting!

Wow, thanks for the pattern!! They are beautiful in all their pommmy glory.
Gregroy Peck. Oh, Gregory Peck. How do I love thee?
Posted by: Heather | November 7, 2007 12:30 PM
Gorgeous! ...Just like Roman Holiday-era Gregory Peck. ;) Thanks for the pattern!

You're the BESTIST!
Posted by: Deardeedle | November 7, 2007 12:48 PM
Yay! Thank you for writing this up -- I love those mittens and I can think of some people on my list who will too...
And, oh, Gregory. My love for him is second only to my love for Cary Grant. (But the latter is mostly platonic, since I get the feeling he was more into dudes anyway. :))

Thanks for the pattern! I think herringbone is perfect for the wintry season.

Sometimes you just need a break, no shame in it. Thanks for the pattern! I'll definitely be making these soon.

Gregory Peck...my first movie star crush (although it was To Kill a Mockingbird...I didn't discover Roman Holiday until my Audrey Hepburn era). And thanks for the pattern! You're the greatest.

Beautiful mittens, and the layout of your pattern is beautiful, too, especially the font. I am usually a non-commenting lurker, but was prompted to say thanks out loud! Say hello to Gregory ;)

Posted by: Nicole | November 8, 2007 9:46 PM
I've really just been lurking for quite some time, but when you made the herringbone mittens I thought they were so nice, that I decided to try to chart the stitch pattern out myself - but seeing as you've made a proper pattern, I decided to de-lurk and say thank you - they are really lovely!
Posted by: Nina | November 9, 2007 10:01 AM
Thank you! You are awesome!
Posted by: Oiyi | November 9, 2007 2:42 PM
Thanks for offering such a great pattern! I started these up last night--it was exactly what I needed to get me out of my knitting funk :)
Posted by: Alice | November 9, 2007 5:25 PM
That is so nice - thank you! And also Gregory Peck is definitely inspiring
Posted by: Maria | November 9, 2007 7:31 PM
These mitts are super cool! I loved Gregory Peck in Roman Holiday... that's still one of my faves 'til today :)
Posted by: lyn | November 10, 2007 9:57 AM
These are so very beautiful. The pompom is such a quirky and fun twist.
Posted by: Jodi | November 10, 2007 2:19 PM

Posted by: kelp! | November 12, 2007 10:53 PM
Hey, girl. I must be feelin' all sentimental or something, but...I want to tell you that you're an amazing person. So creative, so generous, and such a sense of style! And some mean knitting skills to boot.
Posted by: Deb | November 13, 2007 10:26 PM
Best mittens ever!!! i just finished mine, poms and all and am totally smitten. Check them out here: http://annypurls.blogspot.com/2007/11/rocking-mittens-and-fishy-miracle.html
Posted by: Anny | November 14, 2007 4:35 PM
When I surfed into your blog, first I saw Sam's yarn. Then next I saw that Sam died! I was so sad, but happy that you have some of his fur to make into something special.
Posted by: christine | November 20, 2007 9:24 AM
Yahoo! Love these. Making red and white ones for my secret santa target. And then I will make some for me. thankee!
