I don't think I mentioned this when it happened a while ago, but it was a little flattering. I was sitting at the bus stop, reading. I was wearing my Fetching mitts because it was a bit chilly. The woman sitting next to me on the bench said, "Oh, those are a great idea. My dad could use those because he has X disease (can't remember what it was) and his hands are always cold. Where did you buy them?"

"I knit them," I said.

"Oh."

I guess that means they look really good, but I've never seen cabled mitts for sale in a store before.
