I knit these mittens with Lion Brand Magic Stripes in Lumberjack, overdyed purple.
When they were finished, I felt that the wrists were too short, so I improvised a crochet edging. I'm pretty pleased with them now.
I had my ultra-winterproof skiing mittens and fingerless gloves, but nothing in between.
My fingers really are that freakishly long. I should really learn to play the
guitar.

Cute! I like the fix on the cuffs- I am really bad at estimating length, and I will have to keep that in mind!
The crochet edging is a really beautiful touch. Sometimes the best things happen out of necessity.
I like the overdye too.
That's actually a very pretty finish. I wouldn't have known it was a kludge unless you'd told us!
