Arctic Spring Mittens

I seriously have to stop knitting more Arctic Spring Mittens. This time I used Blue Danube, Peridot, Everglade and Spruce colors of Elann's Peruvian Pure Alpaca Fina.





Here's my complete stash of the Elann alpaca. I want to buy more
colors but I'm trying to restrain myself until they add more of the colors. I need some lighter colors for contrast.




I am now working on another pair of thicker alpaca mittens and these have corrugated ribbing. If I can grab DH I'm going to see if he can get some step-by-step photos and even a video of how I do the German Twisted Cast On which is a great cast on for this type of ribbing.
