Notes

An enjoyable little test knit! :)

I always knew what I would use for my two main colours - but I have changed the others several times now as I go along, according to what looks best (usually not what I thought would), I think I changed three of the contrast colours three times (each!).

Decided on all the colours now though, so the second mitt should be quicker….

The designer’s original pair are really beautiful and I especially liked how the two ‘snowflake’ colours were quite close, which is why I chose two different shades of yellow for my snowflake. Because I liked that effect, I then chose a darker shade of green to compliment the other green…

An excellent pattern - informative, well laid out and easy to use :)
