Fetching Indeed
Well I finished up these fetching hand mitts a couple days a go. I used the Anchor Magic (color 1405) that Saskia sent me.
The yarn was just delicious. Very soft and luxurious to knit with. I only wish I could find it here!
The pattern I think is good...but a bit big for my hands. If I was to do it again I think I would use a solid color yarn and make them at least an inch shorter in circumference.

HI
I have just finished these as well. I also found them a little large, put it down to using a different yarn than the pattern What I did do was when casting off I knitted the 4 stitches at the top of each cable this way, knit 2 tog knit 2 tog this decreased by 2 between each picot on the decrease row. It certainly made a difference and made the top much snugger to the hand.
Knit on
That was a fast response!! I am just finishing them off by beading with small pearls, Mum will love them if not quite me. I also prefer the green in the original pattern.
I am going to try again with finer yarn and see what happens. Will try and post a pic of the finished pair tomorrow.
I must admit I really like the pattern so am keen to iron out the small difficulties, I have small hands anyway. :)
Knit on >^..^<
