I know cotton for mittens isn't ideal, but these will either be for me or a friend who can't wear wool either. That's why I was thinking fingerless gloves instead. Maybe mittens knit in wool and lined with cotton would work, too. But, again, I want to focus on the skinny cotton. I only have one skein of each color, and a hat isn't inspiring me right now.
Other than the itch to start a million new projects (I'm dreaming of socks, too, and I've got a sweater's worth of yarn waiting to be knit), I'm plodding along on BYOB. If I finish it today I'll post a picture. In the meantime, here's a photo of a columbine from last weekend's camping trip.

Endpaper Mitts would be pretty in cotton--on Ravelry, free.

Endpaper Mitts were my first thought. The skinny cotton is sport weight. I suppose I could refigure the gauge. They have been in my queue for a long time.
Endpaper Mitts would be a good choice. That or going out and picking up a Barbara Walker or one of the other stitch dictionaries with colorwork patterns. A Fair Isle book would have peeries and other patterns.
No colorwork patterns? What stitch dictionaries do you have, girl?
Not the right kind of stitch dictionaries, I guess.
I would like the Barbara Walker books. Now that I don't always follow a pattern, especially for hats, mittens and socks, I should beef up my stitch dictionary library.
I agree with the others. That was my first thought, too. And what kind of knitter am I? I have yet to discover who Barbara Walker is... I'm on a mission now. :)
