Looking back:
This was an interesting pattern, I’m really happy to have done it, but my fingers are sore and my hands ache. I’ve learned a new technique and I gained the knowledge that I will never use it again :-) (The end result is marvelous though!)

Pattern:
The cuff is fairly tedious work, it gets a lot better when there aren’t as many crook stitches.
The crook rows are easily managed with continental knitting, passing the purl-yarn from front to back over your index finger, and the knit-yarn from back to front.
For the rest of the rows, I found that it’s easiest to create the twist in the yarn before hand and knit off of that, than it was to have untangled yarn and have it spin itself.

Gauge:
On 3,25mm needles I got something like 13,5 stitches to two inches. After that I skipped making another gauge swatch and winged it on 3mm needles, which worked like a charm ;-).

Yarn:
I bought the yarn at a market in Berlin. Very rustic sheep wool from a biological farmer’s stand.
The yarn is pretty rugged, and even though my gauge is spot on (so other people must have done it too), the combination of the English knitting that you can’t help doing and the yarn, is very hard on my hands. (Might be aggravated by the DPN’s that I’m not used to)

Personal:
Renamed them ”Lazarus”, after the Dutch word, of course it is quite similar to “Larus”, but also from the dictionary:
¹la-za-rus het; o (plat): zich het ~ werken heel hard werken
²la-za-rus bn (plat) stomdronken
The first meaning, to work oneself the “lazarus” is to work very, very hard and is a playful reference to the cuff.
The second meaning is “incredibly drunk”.
I found this funny as anyone would get dizzy from the extra twist in the yarn (I would twist the mitt in the air, calculating around 300 twists in the first 10 rows) and by how incredibly mind occupying this project is turning out to be, not something you should attempt even remotely tipsy.
