Spruce Mountain Men's Mittens
I'm pretty happy with this design for men's mittens. I used three skeins of Andean Treasure alpaca yarn. I purposely started the sore thumb gusset an inch above the corrugated ribbed cuff which I think gives a better fit for men's hands. The only problem really is that of course the stripes don't line up at the end of the row but I put the end of the row opposite the thumb so it is less noticeable. I'll try to pin down DH this week to get a photo of him modeling the mittens.
