Sometimes the urge to knit something is like an itch and you just have to scratch it. After really enjoying making my first pair of welted fingerless gloves I am now planning pairs in green, blue and red.
Afterall, you can't really be properly dressed in winter without mittens to match your favourite scarf can you?
And I do have 3 favourite scarves :)
And I have found the perfect colours to make matching mittens, with Quince & Co. Lark in split pea, bird's egg and winesap,
And the Quince & Co. yarn is so smooshy and lovely to knit with,
So, all in all I do feel completely justified in making more mittens (though H may not agree, he thinks that I have too many already)
It would have been a shame not to use this pattern again, it really is very appealing, not least because it knits up so quickly and takes only 1 skein per pair. And perhaps if I keep knitting winter woollies the sun might stay out for a bit, it does seem to have a rather perverse nature this year!

Moss stitch scarves from my improvised 'pattern' (notes here), green and red are in Rowan Big Wool and the blue is Misti Alpacas hand paint chunky.
