What a great quick knit these are :-) I finished the second mitt yesterday and had my daughter (7yrs old) pose with them! I made mention on Ravelry about the modifications I made on these - I basically added a 3rd repeat before the thumb to make the cuff longer, but then I accidentally added a second repeat after the thumb instead of doing just one pattern. This was because I was reading the pattern wrong - where it said a total of 3 repeats, I thought it meant 'after' the thumb, then I realized that would make it far too long, and as I was already on to the second repeat by then I just finished it off and started the cuff. What I like about how this turned out is that the mitt actually covers a lot of my fingers (which you can see from the picture in yesterday's post) but I also like that you can turn back the cuff if you want a shorter mitt (like you can see in the below picture. I also used size 6 dpn's instead of size 7, so they are a nice snug fit on me, but my 7 yr old daughter can wear them also :-)
I've already cast on for a second pair using some Debbie Bliss Cashmerino Aran I have.

ooh I've added them to my ravelry queue!
I must knit these! Yours are awesome! Nice job!
The mittens are gorgeous & it's better to have them longer. They are great for reading in bed during winter.
I love these! I have GOT to try a pair myself. And the grey - great choice!
So cute! I think the length works just fine. I think the turned back look is really darling.
