Mr Chiots got me a pair for Christmas and I haven't been without a pair since. I shouted my love of Ethel from the rooftops to so many people that eventually Ethel hired me. <br /><br />So glad you loved the Ethel Gloves and thanks so much for spreading the love with your readers!Chiot's Runhttp://www.chiotsrun.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-7007693714858831752012-04-07T08:10:18.965+01:002012-04-07T08:10:18.965+01:00NG - there's small, which looked teeny tiny to...NG - there's small, which looked teeny tiny to me!VPhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02732971362066784175noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-34258759946951738332012-04-03T15:52:53.146+01:002012-04-03T15:52:53.146+01:00I have tiny hands and struggle to find gloves that...I have tiny hands and struggle to find gloves that fit and don't have an inch of emptyness at the end of each finger!<br />Do they do them in tiny?!Nutty Gnomehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06146296943319504785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-74785467670028608002012-04-02T08:18:51.810+01:002012-04-02T08:18:51.810+01:00Victoria - that's what I've learned from t...Victoria - that's what I've learned from this test<br /><br />Eight by Six & Rachel - let me know how you get on!<br /><br />Zoe - I think they'd be perfect.

I know Dominic will be delighted with this review - he is nothing if not discerning when it comes to ladies gloves!<br />Zoë - you may want to try a pair of Ethel size small as these are a glove size 6 (not sure if many people know their glove size any more!) and because of their snug fit often suit ladies with smaller hands.The Fat Gardenerhttp://www.qualitygardentools.com/blog/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-47415464691442194072012-03-31T14:57:48.738+01:002012-03-31T14:57:48.738+01:00Not only in a pair of gloves, but smart looking on...Not only in a pair of gloves, but smart looking ones at that!petoskystonehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01633621111274495078noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4793702278130036246.post-51714487599906725512012-03-31T13:10:08.327+01:002012-03-31T13:10:08.327+01:00Funny, I dislike garden gloves, too but I've m...Funny, I dislike garden gloves, too but I've made a resolution to wear them this year.
