The Odd Couple

I've just finished my January One Skein Knit-A-Long, and the timing is perfect with the temperature dropping like it has! The project required 100g of DK Merino yarn, I spotted this SMC extra soft merino and decided the colour was perfect ....

... the colour repeat was quite large, obviously meant for a garment rather than mittens, but actually like the fact that the gloves are a 'couple' rather than a 'pair', i've seen patterns for socks where this sort of effect is used, so why not gloves  and mittens too!
