I think I was most taken with the way the top and bottom cuffs echo each other - the bottom scalloping edge is achieved through knitting, the top uses crochet.

These flittens have a nice length to them - I think the final measurement is about 9 inches. Makes for a tricky self-photo.
Ack! Creepy spider hand!
My secret is....I've still haven't taken down my Christmas cards!
These were a great, low-key, quick knit. I have not knit with a novelty yarn in a while and I expected more trouble from the sequins. It was only a minor issue when it came to weaving in ends really. I had purchased three balls of this yarn, Rozetti Yarns "Polaris" in "Cloud Dancer". I used a whopping 0.61grams of one-skein. Color me impressed. I'm considering my options for what to do with the remaining 2.4 skeins! Currently I'm thinking about Chinook Scarf or Simple Things.

OOH pretty! And I like how subtle the sequins are — just an eensy bit of glam.
You have absolutely converted me to flittens — I wear mine constantly, but they are very chunky and am already thinking about how I'd like a sleeker pair. For fancy flitten occasions, obviously...
Just gorgeous! I love the subtle sequins, too.
Love your flittens!
Those turned out great! I really like the sparkle.
