Jessimuhka Knits: Completed Endpaper Mitts!

I finished the Endpaper Mitts this week and unpinned them from blocking this afternoon. Pictures and details below.

Pattern: Endpaper Mitts by Eunny Jang.
Yarn: J&S Jumper Weight in Lovat and Acorn, purchased from Schoolhouse Press.
Needles: Knitpicks 2.0mm DPNs for the ribbing, Inox Grey 2.75mm DPNs for the body.
Started: Nov. 17, 2006
Completed: Dec. 1, 2006
Modifications: I didn't do the tubular cast on, and I did a different kitchner bind off.
What I'd do differently: I'd go up to 2.25mm needles for the ribbing. The cuff is a smidge tight at the top of my forearm, as it hits right were my arms start to get bigger. It's not a big problem though, they still fit fine.
Blocking: A god send with colorwork. I have some pictures below of the pre-blocking lumps, how I blocked, and a flat post-blocking shot.

Pre-blocking. The color is a bit off, as it was late afternoon light with no flash, but you can see how the ribbing wants to flip up and the stranding is a bit lumpy.

Blocking. I ran wires up the purl faux-seam lines and pulled them apart to pin down. Then I pinned down the ribbing and thumb gusset.

Post-blocking. No flash with better sunlight, so better color accuracy. Kathy sent me a tripod for my birthday (Thanks babe!) so I could get these nice flash free non-blurry photos.

In conclusion, I couldn't be more thrilled with this project. It was super quick to knit, maybe 4 evenings of work all together, and now that the weather seems to have finally turned down here I'll actually be able to use them. You can see all the photos I took of this project here.
