The second mitt came out a little shorter due to the thick/thin nature of the yarn, so if they don't even out after a wash & will re-knit an extra row onto the second mitt.

Gotta love a few good FO's! One of these days I'm really going to have to cast on Fetching. It's been on my to-do list for far too long.
Lovely FOs. I have a pair of fingerless gloves. Trusty chewed on my leather gloves, so I cut off the fingers . . .
They are actually nice to knit in, because they don't grab the yarn.
I didn't spank Trusty because the lining was already worn out.
Sorry I missed you at Stitches! The FLS turned out lovely. And how can you breathe with all that Noro hanging around?!?!?!?
Lovely FO's! My FLS is still languishing! I'm sure that Woolgirl and Miss Babs will love the sweater - it's gorgeous!
Your February Lady looks even better in person.
It was great to see you at Stitches! See you at camp, if not sooner!
