I Have Warm Hands

Now these were fun to knit!
The bright colors are beautiful - the wool is soft and warm. I had almost no ends to weave in, despite the frequent color changes, because I used my very favorite technique....spit splicing . I would not have knit these mittens if I did not know about spit splicing......I dislike weaving in ends and avoid it unless absolutely necessary. (there would have been about 90+ ends to weave in!) I went back and forth knitting both mittens together. The rule was I had to "catch up" with the 2nd mitten before going to the next color on the 1st. It worked well and I finished them together.
