Cheery Stripy Mittens

On my needles at the moment I have some mittens for a custom order.  I am really enjoying knitting them as they are a bit bigger than the ones I normally sell and as they are that bit bigger the colours and stripes on the yarn are coming out really well.  Mr T keeps eyeing up the blue and green striped ones and hinting (not very subtly) that he would quite like a pair like them!
