Egyptian Mittens, I

I really like the weight of the Rauma Strikkegarn knitted on 2.5 mm needles. I’m getting about 28-29 sts / 10 cm.
About the pattern construction:
- Like: the thumb gusset fits my hand well
- Funky: it’s hard to put these mittens on after my coat is already on. There is something about the non-ribbed cuff that is awkward (hard to stuff under my jacket cuff). This might be made worse by the 10-row color “roll” I added to the cuff.
- Must remember: DO NOT use the 3-needle bind-off for the thumb. I did. It was a bad idea.
- Next time I should consider making the wrist section have fewer stitches & increase for the palm/hand section.
