So, I've been working along on the second pair of Convertible Mittens! The first pair is done, but the second is now in progress!
These have been tweaked ever-so-slightly from my first draft -- I shifted the mitten flap down by 1 row, so the mitten 'seals' a bit better when worn as a mitten. My first attempt sometimes shifts enough to expose my palm, so, practice makes perfect, right?
And the question still remains, what are these mittens going to be named? No idea -- Patrons get to name them!

Why a second pair? Because these have been accepted for the Knit Picks IDP program -- and so, quite understandably, I'm knitting a second pair in *Knit Picks Muse, as a second sample! (These are also forming the basis of some more Youtube Tutorials for the pattern, too!)

Needles are still my 3.25 mm (US 3) workhorse Aero dpns -- I went to a very tight gauge for this aran yarn, so the mittens are very dense and wind-proof. I thought about going down to 3 mm (US 2.5) but the cables would have been unmanageable at that gauge.
Twitch chat helped me choose buttons for these (we raided my buttons stash on stream!), so buttons have been chosen (they're from a very old sweater that's since been turned into rags, so yeay for upcycling!) The pattern will also have instructions on how to use a snap for these as well, rather then a button, for those who find the i-chord loop at the top a bit undesirable.

Well, that's been my work-in-progress this week -- what are you folks working on! Feel free to share links in the comments!
Stay Safe out there!
