Just wanted to share this cute and FREE crochet cable mittens pattern by AllAboutAmi.  She has a very thorough written tutorial with lots of pictures.

I started these mittens when it was snowing and sleeting here in Houston.  The weather then had been mainly in the 30's and 40's... In Houston that meant a wet, down to your bones, kind of cold.  Finished them and now were in the 90's.  T_T
