Yet again I have gotten horribly behind on updating my finished projects. So, don't think that I'm some superhuman knitting machine that finishes all this stufff superfast.
Project Details:
Pattern: Generic Mitten Pattern by Adrian Bazilla of HelloYarn, using 2 repeats of this 11-stitch pattern.
Yarn: Woolly West Happy trails in sagebrush (green) and bandana (red)
Needle Size: Size 4 DPNs
Pattern Modifications: This pattern lets you do whatever you want as far as the design. I wanted something that looked like holly to go with the Christmasy colors of the yarn that I had for my second-ever stranded knitting project.
Time to knit: About one month – started and finished in the month of December.
Final impressions: There are things I would change about these mittens, but I love them because they are soooo warm and because they are the project where I taught myself to knit with a color in each hand (knitting english with one yearn and continental with the other). Onward and upward….. more mittens!

What are your final thoughts about the thumb? Gusset or Afterthought?
Next time I’m going for a gusset thumb!
