FO: Valentine Mitts

My mitts are finished and dry:

and I’m quite chuffed with how they turned out.

Although they do fit, I’m thinking about felting them ever so slightly to get a nice snug fit and close up the spaces between the knit stitches. A nice hot bath (while wearing the mitts so they don’t over felt) might do the trick just nicely.
