A Thumb in the Pie

 While the first mitten is finished....

I understand it is more the style f the Nordic mittens but the fit is not great on this one either.
 I ripped it out by cutting the tip off and ripping back to the place before decreases.
And then I reworked the thumb to make it longer and rounder.
Stay tuned!
