mitten progress

I finished the hand of orange cabled mitten version 2.



Notes so I can make the next one symmetrical:

I didn't like the squared top of my last mittens, so instead of decreasing every other row and then grafting the top together, I started decreasing every row.

After I did the last cable twist, I placed my markers so I had 16 sts on the front and 14 on the palm.  I decreased using a k2tog, (slip marker)  k1, ssk on each side, until I had 10 stitches left, then I k2tog around the last row and threaded the yarn through the last 5 stitches.

The top is a bit pointy but I like it.  Plus, it fits!  Hooray!
