Today's knitting was uneventful. No screaming kids, no talkers, just knitting. I was able to complete one mitten (although this picture doesn't show it).
Having finished one, there are a few things that I will do differently with the next pair. The opening bells out considerably. I understand that this is to accommodate the forearm, but I'm worried it will stretch out. To fix this, I might cast on with US size 8's instead of 9's.
As other knitters mentioned in their reviews, the hand and thumbs are short. I did add 2 rows in each of these. The last 2 finishing rows of the thumb make it pointy. If you're a nose picker, this point might be handy, but it's useless to me and I think it looks stupid.
The fabric created using a bulky yarn and a worsted-weight needle is tight and should be nice and warm this winter.
