The first is Thamesis, inspired by the River Thames him/herself.

The greenish colours I've chosen for these ones add to the River-y feel of the mittens, but please don't feel limited by my choice. I would love to see these ones in hot pink and orange; turquoise and red; yellow and grey; etc.
The other ones are the Illuminine Mittens, the third of my mittens to be named after a Thurston Moore song. It happens.

The Illuminine Mittens are the official mitten pattern of National Knit Mittens Month (NaKniMitMo) 2012, which is right around the corner - it kicks off on 1st January 2012.
Which reminds me, you haven't seen Benediction yet, either (or have you?) Here they are:

So yes, you have a wealth of new mitten patterns to choose from! As for me, I'll be continuing to work through my pattern backlog - the socks - including a free sock pattern - are up next. Look out.
