An optimist is the human personification of spring.
[Susan J. Bissonette]

I know spring is coming. Meanwhile, my hands were uncomfortably cold while I worked at my keyboard so I knit these mitts. I’d have taken a photo with them on my hands except my arms aren’t long enough to get a clear photo.

These are stranded knitting. The one on the right shows the palm. When I knit mitens, I increase toward the plam instead of the thumb since that is where I need the extra fabric. I worked these the same way.
