All Thumbs

My mittens are finished and blocked. Amazing how the blocking really smooths them out and makes the fabric flat and cohesive. I wasn't really liking how the cuffs were relating (or not) to the design on the hand. So rather than doing little teeny checks on the thumbs, which was my plan, I decided to repeat the grey and white stripes instead. I think it makes the whole design more unified. I really like these guys now.

I'm not sure why one mitten is so much taller than the other. The one on the right I knit first. Maybe I'm easing up on the tension?


See how my braids are going in two different directions? Pretty cool, huh. Just don't ask me how I did it.
