I finally finished a mitten that fits me like a glove… (haha) I have made about 2 or 3 other mittens that were way too big. I got closer with this gloves mate, but when I finished it just felt too big, so when I knitted this one I went with fewer stitches and it ended up being perfect. Tomorrow I will frog the other one and re-knit it with the new measurements. I used Seasons Greetings yarn (the red sparkly one) it is 95% acrylic 5%lurex… this so far was my favourite yarn to knit with. THis was knitted flat on size 7 needles, I don’t yet have circulars, and didn’t want to wait, so I just started knitting.
Very cool.
That is pretty yarn! 
The mittens will be very festive! Good for you for getting down to knitting while you were excited about the project. I’m sure you learned a lot from the experience. Cheers!
Great job!!
