Sinking my teeth into another pair...

I finally finished both of the Iceland tweed lopi Twilight inspired cabled mittens I mentioned earlier in the week and I haven't been this pleased with the outcome for a project in quite some time. I would post a finished product photo (of which I've taken plenty) but I have to wait a week as I've decided they are so scrumptious they must be that birthday gift I mentioned I needed to have in line for next week.What's more, I am so pleased with them, I immediately cast-on another pair using a gray-ish blue yarn that's slightly less bulky than the lopi yarn as a sort of experiment. I used the exact yarn specifications and had the exact same gauge as requested for the mittens, but somehow I found myself adapting it toward the end and shortening the finger area because the mittens were looking way too long for a normal hand.Did anyone make these and find themselves using similar modifications? I can't figure out why this is so, but they look splendid with one less cable repeat on the hand, so I couldn't be more pleased that my gambles in mods worked out perfectly.I'm so in love with these mittens despite my lack of knowledge of all things Twilight, but a lady in my work whose daughter is obsessed with Bella Swan said she'd love a pair for her daughter so perhaps put that on the list, too. You can check out frames from the film if you want a better idea.Promises to post photos of these immense mittens post birthday party this coming weekend. Get in line for a pair!
