I started these for some Super Bowl knitting.
These are the mittens I am test knitting. I have discovered that I am not a very good test knitter. I swatched to make sure I used the right sized needles. However, I did not check my gauge as I knit along. My gauge, it turns out, is one less stitch per inch than called for so I am making these mittens a bit too big. I am always learning.
I should have taken more pictures along the way becuase this is my first two-at-a-time project. I just followed this very helpful video.

She is actually casting her purl stitches on twisted, the right way is like this video:

This is so great. Now I can make a matching pair at the same time. Now I don't have to worry about making socks or mittens the same length, they just will be because I will make them at the same time.
I still have some knitting to do on this pair as they are flip-top mittens, so I need to make the flip-tops.
What are you up to this fine Wednesday?
