A New, More Exciting Pair of Mittens

I finished reworking Irish Moss. I added two pattern repeats, which will make it about 4 inches longer and tightened up the neck a little bit. I'm blocking it now. While it's taking it's own sweet time to dry I started a pair of snowfling mitts.  I just bought the pattern although the wool looks gorgeous and I may have to buy a kit for the mittens or maybe for the Four Seasons hat.

The pattern calls for DK weight for the mittens and fingering weight for the lining. This is what I found at my LYS.

The pink and the white are Sublime baby cashmere merino silk DK. The teal is ONline Linie 33 Cosmo, which is a cashmere/merino blend fingering weight. I dropped a needle size so they'd be smaller but I think I'm going to rip them and use a larger needle. They fit now but they'll be too small when they're lined.

 I have very small hands and was concerned that they'd be too big even if I used a smaller needle so I also bought 3 skeins of the ONline Linie 33 Cosmo for a second pair.
