Really big mittens: Part II

I made a second mitten today. This time I tried a new knitting method to make the cuff a little less sloppy and I added a liner. The second mitten was much thicker, taller and narrower. I think all of those are the result of the liner. The thumb was so narrow, I couldn't turn it inside out to properly tuck in the yarn tails.

Tomorrow, the good yarn shop is suppose to be open again after vacation, so I should be able to get yarn and start working on Russell's real mittens. Unlike this time, I will have to be more careful to actually make the second mitten LEFT handed instead of making two right handed mittens like I did this time. Oops.
