Pink

The yarn was purchased on a recent trip to Boston at Newbury Yarns. It's Karabella Aurora 8. I used size 5 needles on the cuff, which seemed to be great but moving up to sie 6 on the mittens and the gauge is off. To compensate I am using my hand as a measurement as I go. Which is why the thumb looks so wonky. Maybe I should take it out and start over?

Hermione's Bobble Mittens?

Is the yarn warm or is it a little thin? Something like that would go great over another pair of skinny mittens/gloves if they need to be super warm. Otherwise, I'd say frog it and use the smaller needle if you want them to fit snuggly all by themselves.

They are beautiful!
