Notes

One skein of the cc in Capra was just barely enough. I only had 12 inches leftover. I ran out of the mc at the end of knitting the “body” of the second mitten, didn’t have enough for the thumb. Fortunately, had some scraps from another project of the same yarn, so today didn’t end in a rage.

And I am a super conservative yarn user. I usually have way more than was called for at the end of a project. So beware.

Also, used provisional cast on for the cuffs, and Kitchener st to close up the tops.
