Yeah, gloves suck for Raynaud's.

I have one for felted mittens. The pattern isn't that interesting, but it knits up quickly. If you're interested, I'll try to scan it and send it your way.

Oh excellent idea felted mittens... that would be warm indeed.

You could try thrummed mittens - they're pretty, puffy, warm, and should knit up really fast.

The mitten pattern (really more of a recipe) is here: http://www.yarnharlot.ca/blog/archives/2004/09/27/queen_of_the_world.html

Scroll down.

Good luck!

what an interesting idea. I have never seen these before.

thrummed mittens yes! it is a medieval technique, and sailors in the Elizabethan age wore thrummed caps...

of course I could always just buy mittens....

but if you knit mittens, then there will be less yarn in your house!
