started them, but they are looking SOOOOOO long - didn’t check gauge tho, serves me right

ok, tried them on my little one & they’re not bad actually. I couldn’t find a 10.5 needle, so I just increased 3 stitches after the ribbing (as a guess - this is apparently a fly-by-the-seat-of-my-pants kind of project). Tried them on Nia for length ‘cause they were looking SOOOOOOO long, and they were actually OK, so started the decreases after 12 rows instead of 15 though - and of course, had to adjust because of my 3 extra stitches. I’m apparently also REALLY bad at kitchener stich… but it sorta worked :) The thumb I did as written.

DONE! just twisted a double-strand of the yarn & knotted onto mitten cuffs for the string. I think (other than my horrible grafting skills) they turned out pretty well :)
