Camp Out Fingerless mitts I wanted the teal colour for around my fingers and there's only one length of it in the ball so used the ball winder to find the middle of the green and split the ball in two. I'm knitting these two at a time. Not super happy with the thumb gusset. Feel it should be bigger but I'm just knitting as written.
