My original inclination was to use off-white as the background color. But I changed my mind after a discussion that took place last Saturday during my knit group. Camel or Black/Navy got the most votes, and my off-white was decided to be too stark of a paring. Upon completion, I thought perhaps black would have been much better - but now that I look at the photos, I realize there is quite a bit of dark coloration that would have been lost in a black background. Sigh - I guess nothing is perfect. I'll be happy with these I guess.
The pattern was well written, and fun to knit. I always enjoy changes in colors - keeps you mesmerized and constantly in that "just one more row" mode. Not a bad state of mind for a knitter.......

Beautiful mittens! I love any pattern that makes me want to knit one more row.
Yes, a black background would probably have obscured the colors of the Polworth. Nice mitens!
Those are gorgeous! What a smart use of a multi-colored yarn.
OMG, these are gorgeous!!! Although I love the colorway, I think an off-white background would have been beautiful and would have made the colors POP. But I love contrast, it's a personal thing as always. Great job!!
Those turned out beautifully!
Oh-so-lovely!. Even thought it's often too warm here for mittens, I may have to eventually cave in and knit some. Those are so beautiful. Can't wait to hear what you splurged on.
Those are beautiful!
I like these colours and photos so much that I may just make them. I wasn't too excited about the first photo in Knitty so I passed.
