I bought this yarn during Shetland Wool Week 2016 with the intention of knitting another pair of Flint mittens but never seemed to get around to making them.

My hand-knit accessory selection is rather meager relative to my sweaters so I designated October as an accessory knitting month. I wasn’t able to complete as many projects as I had hoped however I am very happy to have a new pair of Flint mitttens. The wool was perfect for the design & I really enjoyed working with it. I have a SQ of it in stash and am even more eager to work with it now.

I knit the pattern as written and it was/is perfect (as always). Due to my smaller row gauge, my thumbs were a bit short so I added an extra 4 row repeat before beginning the decreased.
These are definitely my favorite mittens and I anticipate that there will be another pair on my needles shortly.
