I finished my Dreyma mittens today. They might look familiar, as I made a nearly identical pair for my sister for Christmas. I made one change when knitting my mittens, I added an inch to the cuff. I want my wrists to stay nice and toasty.

These mittens are knit out of Ístex Léttlopi on US 4 needles, so they should be incredibly warm. I hope I don’t have to use them until next year, but I live in Iowa and it is February, so I’ll probably need them soon.
I hope you are working on a project you enjoy.
Your mittens are excellent! I like a longer cuff too. There is nothing worse than reaching for something and getting that blast of cold when your skin is exposed.
I feel like I’m waiting for the other shoe to drop weather wise. We have had less snow and warmer temperatures for the most part all winter. March can be our snowiest month. I’d like an early spring. One of our maple trees is already budded so maybe we will get that early spring.

I am with you on the length of the cuff. I practically double the length indicated in the pattern.

Those look toasty! I predict you will have the chance to use them yet this spring. We had 10 inches on Tuesday!

It is going to be 60 on Sunday. I am about to start having real hope for spring. This has been an odd winter for us.

Your mittens are beautiful! They should definitely be nice and toasty – longer cuffs really are helpful in warding off those cold winds 🙂
