A few weeks back, I finished a late Christmas gift for a couple friends of ours.
See? They're mittens...
and they're puppets!
The puppet faces only sort of resemble my friends themselves, but it's enough to get the point across. I'd suggest it as a great gift for any newlyweds in your life.
Pattern: Basic Mitten Pattern from Ann Budd's Knitter's Handy Book of Patterns (remembering to take at least 10% off her stitch count for each size, of course).
Yarn: Rowan Soft Baby, color SH004, less than one ball.
Needles: Size 5 bamboo DPNs, and oh my gosh has anyone told you how wonderful those feel? Very light and easy on the hands.
Notes: The embroidery is all scraps from the stash, in fingering and laceweight.

Completely brilliant!
Aww, they're so cute! I used to have a pair of mittens that doubled as dragon hand puppets. Wonder what happened to them.
Ha! That is amazing! I love that idea. And you executed it brilliantly.
