No Scratch Mitts

so i threw together some no scratch mitts to go with the inside out socks. it wasn't too bad. i only had to frog once when i decided i didn't like the brim. at first i e-wrapped the cuff, cause i wanted it to be fluffier than the body, but it was just too loose! i had gotten as far as the eyelets and the first couple of rows of the body. so i just ripped that out and did the cuff over using the purl stitch. it matches the booties better that way, too. i was going to do a i-cord in the same color as the mitt, but i thought it would blend too much, so i did it in the mint green color i had. i think it came out pretty swell! sorry about the quality of the pics, i had to use my phone again. i keep on forgetting to charge the battery on my camera!

here a pic of the front of one mitt and the back of the other so you can see how the i-cord is woven through
