Ever have people stop you in the middle of your tracks and ask you about your knitting? Me neither ... at least not until the other day. As I was leaving the Supercentre with my cart loaded with groceries a woman stopped me and asked about my mittens! "Hand-made?" she asked of my 
self patterning, sockwool mitts that flap back to become a pair of fingerless gloves. (These are my favourites so far this winter.) Then she proceded to pull up her pant leg to reveal a sock made of the same wool "from Germany" ~ we laughed.

How cool! Nothing like that has ever happened to me. Other than in a yarn store, of course. :)
I was the recipient of these lovely blue, green and yellow fingerless mitt/gloves. I just love these mitts! They fit me "like a glove". I think the yarn is a wool blend with some kind of lotion built in to keep them the yarn soft and less itchy.
A few people have asked me about them. I proudly say that "my sister made them for me". This is usually followed by a request for a closer inspection and exclamations of oohs and aahs.
