Pattern: mine because the one I was originally using didn't make sense (or fit) even at gauge.
Yarn: Cherry Tree Hill Possum Worsted in Ratta (70% Merino, 30% Possum)
Yardage: most of two skeins
Needles: 3.25 mm dpn's
I've actually been wearing these mittens for a few weeks now but only attached the i-cord dummy string (dummy string out of idiot cord - ha ha) attached today. They are much warmer than my previous mittens (which I bought and are made of some unknown fibre that survived the washer and the dryer) and I can actually carry things around at -30 and still feel my fingers (otherwise I tend to keep my hands in my pockets for extra warmth) - those possums must be cozy critters! I'm always worried I'll leave my mittens somewhere (because I have before) so I decided to give this pair some dummy strings so I wont have to think about it (or find somewhere to store them when they're off).
