The color is awesome - they will be much appreciated when winter comes around again.

They're beautiful, and will be especially welcome come fall (love the color!).
Do you have to bribe your kids to model for you, or are they usually accommodating, even when it comes to wearing wool in summer? ;-Þ
You really do have the most beautiful, and exotic looking children!

I absolutely ADORE the mittens/flipflops pic! It is a gorgeous ironic pairing.

Brilliant mitts and photos! I shall add mitts to my list of things to make with handspun. :)

I just knit one of Susan's (Itty Bitty) 45 minute mittens this week with the Rowan Big Wool I have. I have to make the other one next and it's 100 here nearly every day!
Your mittens look beautiful, love the color.

The first photo cracked me up! I don't stop knitting in the summer, either. :)

Those are fantastic! Love your handspun :)
P.S. Congratulations to your daughter!

I loved Dropout's mittens and I love yours, too.
It snowed here in Montana in June. I'm jealous that you won't actually need them anytime soon.
