Notes

Knitting from the in-the-round instructions.
So far so good.
First mitt knitted in a day.
Pattern states 12rows of 2x2rib for upper cuff but I did 10 as that seemed long enough for my fingers.

25g of yarn left so dropping those 2 rows may mean I can get my pair knitted with just one ball of Westcountry Tweed

Second mitt finished today!

Yardage info:

I knit the larger size, in the round, but finished the upper cuff on 10 rows rather than 12. This used slightly less than 1 ball of Westcountry Tweed (c.110m/119yds) for the pair - literally less than a gram of wool left! So it is possible to knit these with only 1 50g ball of dk if you don’t mind playing yarn chicken!
