Both pairs of thrummed mittens are getting me through my subzero commute to work each day. As I have worn the mittens, ways to make the mittens better keep coming through my mind.
The mittens, as knit from the pattern are much too wide in the hand and in the thumb. The stitches that show roving on the outside of the mitten are taking a real beating. Maybe if I made the thrums much thinner and twisted them tighter? The final thing is that I would like a longer cuff.
These changes are pretty straightforward. All I need is a careful checking of measurements accommodating the thrums on the inside of the mittens, and the time to work on this project.
If you live in a climate that gets really cold, these are wonderful. Working on these mittens and figuring out how to do it better has been interesting....and I have warm hands!
