Yarn: Noro Kureyon, coloway 283.
Needles: #7 (4.5mm) dpns.
Yes, this was one ball of Noro Kureyon! I am not fond of the way this colorway knitted up, as it has the unusual shot of purple and the colors don't play particularly well with each other in a pair of mitts. One solution would be to purchase another ball of the same colorway and knit up another pair, hoping that the colors would divide in the same way. But it's a Christmas gift, and time is running out. The receiver is a free spirit, and I'm hoping it will be well received. I know for sure they are warm!

Well, I do not think I am a free spirit but the receiver should love her new, warm mittens. The mis-matched coloring makes them interesting. Fingerless mittens are well receied by everyone in my region. I love them too.
That's what I love and hate about Noro!! Don't get me started on spit splicing to get colors to line up on the sweater I knit ages ago! But it was a stunning sweater.
