The second pair of mittens I've knit are finished and looking rather sweet in this photo. The mitts are in an envelope now, winging their way to a dear relative in Canada. Knit from the same pattern I made up for the first pair, but a little shorter at the top and bottom.
A number of people tried these on for me so I could see how they fit, and the mitts fit a surprising range of hand sizes. I guess that's the flexibility of the open top.
The yarn is a little ecru BFL and almost all of the last ball from skeins sixty-three through sixty-six which I spun in July of last year out of "Long Time No Sea" BFL from [Gwen Erin natural fibers]. Those skeins went mostly into the Old Shale Smoke Ring but that one ball of yarn stuck around waiting for an opportunity to be made into a little something to coordinate with the cowl.
