Warm Woolly Mittens

I hope to get this pair of mittens knit up before the weather becomes too cold. The yarn is Malabrigo, a super soft kettle dyed merino wool. Now where am I going to find the time to actually work on these?
I'm almost finished with the slippers I was working on last time you saw knitting here but the socks I started for Socktoberfest have been seriously neglected.
Did you happen to catch Splatgirl's new addition today? So adorable...
