Between blotch and blok

So I knit Fetching--twice. (A further pair has been requested by the wearer of pink.) The green pair took a tad over the single ball of Cashmerino Aran, but I had some spare, so no problem there. For the black pair I had only one ball of yarn: a reduction of three rounds in the plain part of the hand was spot on for yarn requirements.

The one other change I made was to even up the ribs so that the mitts are a proper mirror image (look at the picture on the index page of the Knitty site just above the start of the thumb and see how the lines of purls in the rib aren't quite mirrored--I know it's marginal, but I likes my symmetry). The solution on the second glove was to finish the final round of the main section of 4x1 rib three stitches early and commence the knit in waste yarn section for the thumb there. Simple, but pleasing tweak.
